Marrakech History and Memoirs

Marrakech History and Memoirs

Embedded within the ramparts, Marrakech tells the whole Morocco’ story through its monuments. Koutoubia minaret dating of XII century is the symbol of Marrakech. This building impresses by its pure lines. Its stripped profile presents on each part a different decoration. We continue through la Kasbah, to visit the Saadians toms, the only remaining remnants of the Saadi Dynasty that ruled the city from 1524 to 1659. Walking through the Jewish quarter to explore Bahia Palace, this must-see meaning brilliance in Arabic, is one of the best-preserved and most interesting historical sites in Marrakech: Court of honor, rooms richly decorated; large riad surrounded by citrus trees, gardens, fountains.. Close pleasantly our half day by visiting the Tiskiwin museum Founded by Bert Flint to display the best of his personal collection of Amazigh Berber artefacts with a permanent exhibition highlighting the great value of Moroccan heritage. .
