Dear Friends and Guests,
We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for all your thoughts and concerns during this challenging time. Your support means a lot to us, and we want to provide you with an update on the situation in Marrakesh.
First and foremost, our team and guests are safe, and we deeply appreciate your kind wishes. The recent earthquake has been a sobering experience, and our thoughts are with those affected by this tragedy.
We understand that many of you may have concerns about upcoming travel plans. We want to reassure you that while the earthquake has left its mark on the city, Marrakesh is resilient, and recovery efforts are underway. The local community is strong and determined to rebuild.
If you still plan to visit Marrakesh in the near future, your support would mean a lot to the local economy, which relies heavily on tourism. Many of the city's attractions have reopened, and your visit can contribute to the ongoing recovery.
For those who wish to extend their support beyond thoughts and prayers, we'd like to share the link to the British Moroccan Society Earthquake Appeal on GoFundMe (https://www.gofundme.com/f/british-moroccan-society-earthquake-appeal). This initiative aims to provide relief to those affected by the earthquake, and any contributions, big or small, can make a difference.
We thank you once again for your support and understanding.
Marrakesh is a city of resilience, and we look forward to welcoming you with open arms when you decide the time is right for your visit.
Andrew and the Marrakech Riad Team
