Well the title says it all!

I want to get away on Monday, (Sunday is the meet at VW) don't want to throw serious money at it, I would like warm weather, can't travel coach class on the airline (cue abuse) but just so need to get the hell out of here and recharge batteries; Mr 13th may or may not be coming so where?

Marrakech - 3 hrs on plane, 28 degrees, hotel - Jardins de la Koutoubia, an oasis of calm. Book it!

Plenty of cheap flights round to the Canaries too, out of season.

Alternatives outside of Marrakech. The walled city of Essaouira on the coast or head south to Dakhla in Western Sahara. Dakhla is a small town on a peninsula. the lagoon surrounded by desert is beautiful. There is one good hotel in town with an infinity pool and bar on the roof over looking the lagoon and I have Brit friends living there who runs fishing trips on the lagoon and 4x4 safari's out into the desert. There is a cool market too with no tourist tatt or people trying to drag you into their cousins shop!

I have been to Essaouira (I think, there can't be that many walled cities in the area but it was 15 years ago) can you give me a link?
