00:00This program is brought to you by Morocco, Kingdom of Light.
00:13Moroccan cuisine is famous for the amazing colors and flavors
00:17characterized by this mixture of sweet and savory.
00:20It's that unique fusion of spices.
00:22So when you're in Marrakesh, 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,
00:37and it's been especially designed to minimize water consumption.
00:41Now you've got these amazing panoramic views of the Atlas Mountains.
00:45The course layout was designed by former European tour player Nile Cameron.
00:49It's 18 holes, it's a par 72, and it is a real challenge for golfers.
00:53Does that sound about right, Guy?
00:55That sounds absolutely right.
00:56Great to see you.
00:57It's a pleasure to welcome you.
00:58Thank you.
01:01As I was mentioning, there have been a lot of olive trees transplanted
01:05at the beginning of when they constructed the golf course,
01:09about 2,200 of them.
01:11That's immense.
01:12Yeah, it is.
01:14Guy, your signature 17th has got one of the best views I've ever seen.
01:18What can you tell me about it?
01:19Yes, it's a great par 3, 150 meters downhill, superb backdrop.
01:24And a canyon we've got to get the ball over.
01:26Yeah, and that can be a problem.
01:27Let's have a go.
01:32We're at the 14th, which is one of the most strategic holes of the golf course.
01:36It's a par 5, par 5, par 5.
01:39I'm going to choose the left side, and hopefully that's where it's going to go.
01:42Yeah, let's hope so. Have fun.
01:46After being inspired by all the wonderful food in Marrakesh,
01:49I'm going to learn how to cook a traditional Moroccan tagine.
01:53Hello.
01:54Hi, Amy. I'm Fatima.
01:56I'm loving the look of your spices already.
01:58Sure.
01:59Today we will cook a lamb tagine with pearls and olive oil.
02:03It's a traditional Moroccan dish.
02:05Oh, divine. What is in the 36 spices?
02:08There is two tips of the pepper.
02:11There is cardamom, and also there is canela.
02:14There is some ginger.
02:16Plus some more.
02:17Yeah.
02:18And once everything is mixed together,
02:20you pop the tagine on top of the hot coals.
02:24Oh, Fatima, finally.
02:26After two hours, we have the tagine.
02:30Bon appetit.
02:31And the tagine.
02:33Bon appetit.
02:34Thank you.
02:36Oh, it looks so good.
02:38And now it's time for my last round of golf here in Marrakesh.
02:42I am at the Almaden Golf Course,
02:45which is situated at the foot of the Atlas Mountains.
02:48Now, this 18-hole Par 73 course
02:50is probably one of the most creative of the Moroccan golf courses
02:54because it's inside an open-air sculpture park.
02:57Now, Nicola, good to see you.
02:59Hi, nice to meet you. Welcome to Almaden Golf Course.
03:02Thank you. Well, 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
03:13and combines a Scottish style with the influence of the Marrakesh Minara Gardens.
03:17Now, we're at 12, which is a Par 3,
03:19surrounded by these rectangular pools.
03:21All the water here is sustainably managed.
03:23Now, Nicola, you're going to hit it.
03:26So, they say this here is the most challenging hole, the 18th.
03:29It's a Par 5 with a dog leg to the left.
03:32Now, there's a bunker here.
03:33It's a famous bunker, the Seven Saints.
03:35I say there's nothing saintly about that.
03:37This could just destroy my school card.
03:45Well, that was challenging, and the sun is setting,
03:48but it doesn't mean the day is done.
03:50It is time for me to say goodbye.
03:52The sun is setting, but it doesn't mean the day is done.
03:55It is time to head into Marrakesh
03:57and see what this city has to offer.
04:02It wouldn't be a trip to Marrakesh
04:04without experiencing its exciting nightlife.
04:06This city has such a buzz.
04:23Wow, Marrakesh.
04:25I have been challenged by the golf courses
04:28and really embraced by the city.
04:30I cannot wait to come back.
04:34Here are the great Marrakesh courses to hit the ball at.
04:37Golf Amalcus, Palm Golf Palmaray, Golf Almaden, Golf Asufid,
04:42Montgomery, Salmoner Country Club, Noria Golf, Palm Golf Eureka,
04:47Royal Golf, Fairmont Royal Palm, the Tony Jaclyn and Atlas Golf.
