00:00This program is brought to you by Morocco, Kingdom of Light.
00:13Moroccan cuisine is famous for the amazing colours and flavours.
00:17Characterised by this mixture of sweet and savoury is that unique fusion of spices.
00:22So when you're in Marrakech, head to the Medina and get yourself to the soup.
00:26After some great food at the Medina, I'm ready to play at Asoufid Golf Club.
00:32The Asoufid Golf Club is a desert-style course lined with olive and palm trees.
00:36And it's been especially designed to minimise water consumption.
00:40Now you've got these amazing panoramic views of the Atlas Mountains.
00:44The course layout was designed by former European tour player Naal Cameron.
00:48It's 18 holes, it's a par 72 and it is a real challenge to get to the top.
00:53Does that sound about right, Guy?
00:54That sounds absolutely right.
00:56Great to see you.
00:57It's a pleasure to welcome you.
00:58Thank you.
01:00Yeah, as I was mentioning, there's been a lot of olive trees transplanted at the beginning of when they constructed the golf course.
01:08About 2,200 of them.
01:10That's immense.
01:11Yeah, it is.
01:17Guy, your signature 17th has got one of the most beautiful colours in the world.
01:21Guy, your signature 17th has got one of the best views I've ever seen.
01:24What can you tell me about this?
01:25Yes, this is a great par 3, 150 metres downhill, superb backdrop.
01:30And a canyon we've got to get the ball over.
01:32Yeah, and that can be a problem.
01:33Let's have a go.
01:38We're at the 14th, which is one of the most strategic holes of the golf course.
01:41It's a par 5 with a double fairway.
01:44Very unique, Guy.
01:45Are you going to go left or right?
01:46I'm going to choose the left side and hopefully that's where it's going to go.
01:49Yeah, let's hope so.
01:50Have fun.
01:53After being inspired by all the wonderful food in Marrakech, I'm going to learn how to cook a traditional Moroccan tagine.
02:00Hello.
02:01Hi, Amy.
02:02I'm Fatima.
02:03I'm loving the look of your spices already.
02:05Sure.
02:06Today we will cook lamb tagine with pears and almonds.
02:09Oh, divine.
02:10What is in the 36 spices?
02:12There is two tips of the pepper.
02:14There is cardamom and also there is canola, there is some ginger.
02:19Plus some more.
02:20Yeah.
02:21And once everything is mixed together, you pop the tagine on top of the hot coals.
02:27Oh, Fatima, finally.
02:29After two hours, we have the tagine.
02:33Bon appetit.
02:34Thank you.
02:35Shukran.
02:36Oh, it looks so good.
02:39And now it's time for my last round of golf here in Marrakech.
02:43I am at the Almaden Golf Course, which is situated at the foot of the Atlas Mountains.
02:48Now, this 18-hole par 73 course is probably one of the most creative of the Moroccan golf courses
02:54because it's inside an open-air sculpture park.
02:58Now, Nicolas, good to see you.
03:00Hi, nice to meet you.
03:01Welcome to Almaden Golf Course.
03:02Thank you.
03:03Well, you're the person to show us around the place.
03:05I'm happy to.
03:09Almaden is one of a kind.
03:11It's designed by Kyle Phillips and combines a Scottish style with the influence of the Marrakech Minara Gardens.
03:17Now, we're at 12, which is a par 3, surrounded by these rectangular pools.
03:21All the water here is sustainably managed.
03:23Now, Nicolas, you're going to hit it.
03:31So, they say this here is the most challenging hole, the 18th.
03:34It's a par 5 with a dog leg to the left.
03:37Now, there's a bunker here.
03:38It's a famous bunker, the Seven Saints.
03:40I say there's nothing saintly about that.
03:42This could just destroy my school card.
03:50Well, that was challenging, and the sun is setting, but it doesn't mean the day is done.
03:54It is time to head into Marrakech and see what this city has to offer.
04:02It wouldn't be a trip to Marrakech without experiencing its exciting nightlife.
04:06This city has such a buzz.
04:25Wow, Marrakech.
04:26I have been challenged by the golf courses and really embraced by the city.
04:31I cannot wait to come back.
04:36Here are the great Marrakech courses to hit the ball at.
