STYLISH RIAD IN MARRAKECH

You may be able to see the snowcapped Atlas Mountains in the far distance, but this historic desert oasis has a reliably warm, dry winter.

Dar Al Assad (telegraph.co.uk/ tt-daralassad) is within five minutes’ walk from the Jemaa el-Fna and is well-located for exploring the souks and palace museums. From £95 per room per night including breakfast. How hot? 64F (18C)
