You are invited to mark a new chapter in Marrakesh
May 21–25, 2026
A birthday gathering under desert skies.
Marrakesh — a city of ochre walls, hidden courtyards, and timeless rituals.
To celebrate 26 years, I’ve gathered those closest to me for a few days of stillness, rhythm, and discovery.
Together we’ll wander souks, share long meals, and watch the desert sky unfold in stars.

Things to do
Marrakesh is more than a backdrop — it’s an experience. From secret gardens to ancient rituals and the vast quiet of the desert, the city invites you to slow down, wander, and discover beauty at every turn.
The Medina
A labyrinth of narrow alleys alive with color and sound. Souks spill with spices, textiles, and hand-carved treasures — a place where every turn reveals a hidden courtyard or a new rhythm of life.
Hammam Rituals
A centuries-old tradition of steam, scrub, and renewal. Step inside for a ritual that is as much about stillness and self-care as it is about cleansing — a pause from the medina’s energy.
Jardin Majorelle
A sanctuary of cobalt blue and exotic palms, Jardin Majorelle was created by French painter Jacques Majorelle and later restored by Yves Saint Laurent. Wandering its shaded paths feels like stepping into a living watercolor — bamboo groves, vibrant cacti, and fountains humming quietly in the heat of the day.
Agafay Desert
Just beyond the city, the landscape opens into endless horizons. Ride at golden hour, watch the dunes shift in color, and feel the vast quiet of the desert sky unfolding in stars.
Located in North Africa.
At the crossroads of Africa and Europe, Marrakesh is a place where centuries of tradition meet the pulse of the present.
