Sunday Times Where Was I? competition

The prize:

The winner and guest will stay for three nights, B&B, at IZZA, Marrakesh – an independent, art-loving riad hotel that opened in the city’s medina last year. Painstakingly restored in partnership with local craftsmen, its 14 individually designed bedrooms are a rich mix of traditional and modern, featuring plasterwork friezes, gleaming mosaics and ornate wooden floors. Meanwhile, up on the roof, breakfasts and dinners are served in a garden of desert plants beneath the shade of palm trees and gazebos. The art collection is notable: among its 300 works are photographs by Sebastião Salgado and video installations by the Ethiopian collective Yatreda. So too are IZZA’s partnerships with local charities, including Pikala Bikes and the Amal Woman’s Training Centre.

The prize includes one three-course dinner for two, excluding drinks, and a massage each, as well as return flights to a total value of £600.

The prize must be taken before December 23, 2024, subject to availability and excluding public holidays and the following blackout dates:

  • February 7-11
  • May 29-31
  • September 7-12
  • November 20-24
