First of all thank you to everyone who sent messages to see how we are doing. Thanks be to God, we and all our loved ones are fine. But what happened is most definitely not. It is a very sad day for Marrakech. Beyond awful. I cannot believe the people who did this came from this amazing city - Djemma Al Fna, where the bombing happened, is one of the most magical places on earth. It is a UNESCO world heritage site and as soon as you step on to the square you feel its incredible energy. I don't believe anyone from this city could have done this.
All our thoughts and prayers are with the those that have lost their lives and those that have been injured. Staff at the local hospitals have worked under very difficult conditions to help the injured - and I know it has been traumatic for them too.
Marrakech will come through this. It will continue to be an incredible place to live and to visit. And for the sake of all the people that rely on the tourist trade to make a living, which is most of Marrakech, I hope that people still choose to come here and experience this beautiful place.
