"Marrakech ... life ...life an ..." a Marrakesh Travel Page by diageva

What to say ... How to explain what I saw in Marrakech? or how I saw it?
I saw a city where people likes to express themselves and communicate themselves, shout, speak, stop tourist to come to know them, tell stories ... that is all concentrated specially in one place ... at Djemaa F'na square. People reading your future at day and a big restaurant and all kind of circus artists at night.. but not for tourist ... this is not a circus for tourist .. but ... for local people ... but ... tourist can join

In Morocco like in other Arabic countries, behind a big wall you can have a wonderful palace with incredible gardens,
after a poor door you can discover a magnificent rich house,
after a simple dress man you can have a very powerful one.
in these countries is frequent not to show the wealth to avoid the envy from others. So... don't expect to find easily what you have said that you can find in Marrakech ... perhaps you are walking just in front a door that have a palace and you will never know if you don’t have a guide or a sing that tell you that ... narrow streets walls and walls that hide wonderful worlds ...

Marrakech is the 3erd city of Morocco in importance, but its say that is the most beautiful and interesting. It was founded in 1062
by the almoravides from the Sahara that build an empire from Argelia to Spain. In 1106 masterful Andalusian craftsmen came to Marrakech to build a mosque and a palace. At this time it was build also a great wall that surrounds the city.
In 1147 the almohades took the city. Of this time is the great Koutoubia.
After more than 200 years of decay, in XVI, with the saadies, the city recovered its splendour and of this one time they are the most important works that we can find nowadays. The saadian tombs, Merdessa Ben Youssef and the rests of Badi Palace.
