Agadir Old Medina
S
lightly to the south of the city center, this is a place to be discovered with great delight: the new medina was reconstructed from the 1990s onwards by Italian architect Coco Polizzi. Careful urban development, craftsmen and restaurants. It is an original and bold success, where the Moroccan soul still survives. The jewelry souk and the Moorish café are more than worth the detour.

Couscous And The City: Hollywood loves Morocco
Now in the cinema, Carrie & Co's Moroccan adventure in Sex And The City 2. Sex And The City 2: The upcoming sequel is set two years after we last saw Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) and her friends and brings the girls out of their beloved New York on a trip of Morocco.
Little has been given away about the plotline, but the film will definitely include a wedding and perhaps a baby for an unlikely mother. Apparently happily married to husband Mr Big (Chris Noth), it is not known why Carrie decides to abandon him for a girlie trip to Marrakech with Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall), Charlotte York Goldenblatt (Kristin Davis) and Miranda Hobbs (Cynthia Nixon).
Exotic: Sarah Jessica Parker is back as Carrie Bradshaw in Sex And The City 2 as the four friends take a break from New York in the equally bustling souks of Marrakech. For their exotic trip to North Africa, the foursome are seen enjoying walking through the dunes of the Sahara Desert, lunching under the shade of a Bedouin tent and partying alongside belly dancers in a local nightclub.
In these new photos from the film, Charlotte appears to be revelling in being a housewife as she carries two-year-old daughter Rose - who was born in the climax of the first film - while baking cupcakes.
Despite turning 50 in the last film, it appears age hasn't diminished Samantha's love of tight-fitting clothes as she is seen dashing across a busy Manhattan street in a revealing little black dress.
Carrie and her best friends (L-R) Samantha Jones (Kim Cattrall), Charlotte York Goldenblatt (Kristin Davis) and Miranda Hobbs (Cynthia Nixon) stroll through the Sahara Desert.
SEX AND THE CITY 2: Dining in style: The four woman quaff flutes of champagne in the unlikely setting of a Bedouin tent in the middle of the Sahara desert. The only single member of the group, Samantha will come into contact with ex live-in lover Smith Jerrod (Jason Lewis) again in the sequel, prompting speculation they may give their romance another try.
She also finds a new love interest in the shape of English actor Max Ryan, who plays a suave character called Rikard. Teen star Miley Cyrus also has a brief cameo in the film, after she turns up to a premiere of Smith's movie wearing the same designer dress as a horrified Samantha. Rocking the Kasbah: The Sex And The City girls hit the nightclubs on Marrakech.
As well as potentially settling down, there is speculation Samantha - who turned 50 in the last movie - may be going through 'the change'.
Also among the rumoured plotlines for the sequel is Carrie's marriage to Mr Big will run into trouble, including the mogul suffering into financial problems as a result of the current economic crisis.
Also back for the sequel is Miranda's husband Steve Brady (David Eigenberg), Charlotte's husband Harry Goldenblatt (Evan Handler) and the girls' gay friends Anthony Marantino (Mario Cantone) and Stanford Blatch (Willie Garson).
Fashionable friends: The new film will feature coveted designer clothes, including a white Halston jersey dress worn by Carrie
Among the stars making cameo appearances in this year's movie include Penelope Cruz, Liza Minnelli and British-Iranian comedian Omid Djalili, who plays a Moroccan hotel owner.
The first Sex And The City movie saw Carrie and Mr Big finally tie the knot in City Hall after the commitment-phobe jilted her at the altar of a lavish over-the-top ceremony at the New York Public Library.
The first film was well received with both critics and audiences and grossed $412million in worldwide box office.
