Marrakech

Marrakech, one of Morocco’s four imperial cities, is renowned for its rich history, vibrant culture, and bustling medinas. Founded in 1070 by the Almoravid dynasty, it quickly became a political, economic, and cultural hub, playing a central role in Morocco's development. Its red sandstone buildings earned it the nickname "The Red City." The city’s iconic landmarks, such as the Koutoubia Mosque, Jemaa el-Fnaa square, and the Majorelle Garden, reflect the influence of both Berber and Arab cultures, with a touch of Andalusian architecture. Marrakech’s medinas, souks, and riads embody its historical ties to trade and craftsmanship. Today, it serves as the capital of the Marrakech-Safi region and remains a vibrant center of tourism, attracting visitors from around the world with its blend of tradition and modernity.
