In June I stayed in this hotel for 4 nights and 5 days. The hotel was very good, the rooms are very spacious, the staff very friendly, the pool is very big, unfortunatly I couldn’t take a swim in it because in my first full day of visit I fell down in the Medina of Marrakech and hurt my hand, I had to receive two stitches, so no swiws in the pool, facing 5 days of 40 degrees with a stitched hand isn’t easy, but the hotel has AC in all the rooms.
I liked this Marrakech trip, the city and surroundings reminded me of Tunisia, but in Tunisia the food was a lot better, traditional morrocon food doesn’t suite me, in the Tunisian Hotel they served tipical european food while in the Kenzi Farah it was all moroccon. In the first day I visited Djemaa-El-Fna, in the second day we visited Essaouira, in the last full day we visited Chez Ali. This trip was an offer from my insurance company.

Since I couldn’t find a topic about this tournment in this forum I decided to create one, I can also create topics about WC 2002, Euro 2000, etc. Let’s take a trip down memory lane…

The decision to award this Euro to Portugal was taken in Aachen, Germany, in October 11 1999. There were three bids, Portugal, Spain and a joint Austria-Hungary bid. The three bids logos:
