City of Marrakesh

Known as the Red City, Marrakech is Morocco’s second largest city. It has more than 1 million residents and most of the houses are colored red. Known as the pearl of Morocco, Marrakech Medina is a colorful city of entertainment. The city is a major economic center with several upcoming industries and markets. It’s located at the foot of the Atlas Mountains and has a stunning landscape. This city is mainly divided into two parts: the medina, which is the old fortified city, and the modern city nearby (called Gueliz). A shimmering white snowy winter and a warm, humid summer make up the city’s wonder climate. There is a strong sense of sociability and warmth among the inhabitants of this city that is renowned all over the world.

The name comes from the Berber words ‘mur(n) akush’, which means ‘land of gods’. Marrakech was the name given to Morocco by Arabs, Persians, and Europeans until a few decades ago. From Spain to Senegal, it was the capital of a vast empire founded in the 11th century. Almohads continued to develop it in the 12th century. 9km of red earth wall still exists from the time of the Almoravids. By the 16th century, the Saadian Empire was ruling over it. Many of their buildings and tombs have been preserved well. The Sultan of Alaouits- Moulay Ismail later conquered it. Under French rule, it was governed by Pasha El Glaoui in 1917. In 1956, King Mohammed V took over, but the fortunes were confiscated after his death.

In the later years, Rabat became the capital and Marrakech became a provincial capital. With an area of 31,160 kms, it is now the capital of Marrakech Tensift el Haouz region.
