MARRAKECH
Marrakech
is berber origin and more africaan than arab. It has been the country’s capital
on two occasions. Firstly when it was founded in the
11th century by Berber Muslim tribesmen, the Almoravids and again,
in the 16th century, during the Saadians dynasty. The city was built
by the Almoravid leader, Youssef Ben Tachfine, who chose it as a place to pitch
camp based on its location on a warm plain protected from the Saharan winds by
the mountains. He immediately constructed a Kasbah and a mosque and to overcome
the water shortage, planted pipes (khetara) made out of baked mud in the
ground, to carry water into the city, from the High atlas, still in evidence
around the Palmeraie just outside the city. When Youssef died, his son, Ali
succeeded him and built the city’s original ramparts. In 1147, after many
battles, Marrakech eventually fell to the vehemently religious, Almoravids who
became the next dynasty. After demolishing many of the Almoravids main
monuments, the Almohads rebuilt Marrakech adding such relics as the Koutoubia
mosque, which had to be rebuilt 50 years later as the previous one was not
completely in the line with Mecca, the El Mansour mosque and Bab Agnaou, the
gateway to the Kasbah, all of which are still very much in existence today.
MARRAKECH
TODAY
The Marrakech of today is
basking in the glory of yet another heyday. Home to some of the world’s most
beautiful gardens, hotels, houses and monuments, resided in by some the world’s
most famous designers, writers, artists and entrepreneurs, host to the
glamorous International Film festival and recipient of over one-third of all
visitors to the country, a figure set to rise in line with vision 2010.
It is a city of noise,
entertainment and color that thrives on attention and appears to blossom the
busier it gets. From the snake charmers, storytellers and acrobats of Jemaa el
Fna (see below) to the hustling, playful chitchat in the souks, the honking
horns on Avenue Mohammed V, the dashing bursts of bougainvillea and the art
galleries, exhibitions and boutiques, it is a city where the old and new
seamlessly join and you feel as comfortable on the black of a braying mule as
you do in the front of a polished 4x4.
It is also a city where in
amongst the opulence and affluence, there is severe poverty. Migrants from the rural Atlas
looking for work to feed their families, beggars and street children rifling through dustbins, hustling tourist and conning the naive in
order to get a bite to eat or a scattering of loose change
Once recommended by Winston
Churchill as having the air to cure bronchitis, it is now one of Morocco’s most
polluted cities where every road is a traffic jam and the smell of fumes,
overpowering.
Despite this, investment in
Marrakech is soaring. The combination of a young, forward thinking monarch and
a highly effective regional governor Mohammed Hassad has done much to improve
the quality of life in the city. Social housing projects are underway to get
the city’s poorest out of the shantytowns, the bureaucracy, notorious for
impeding investment and entreneurialism has been hacked down to manageable
sized chunks and touts who harass foreigners are at risk of arrest by
heavy-handed tourist police.
The main investors are the
French many of whom still feel they have something of a hold over the city and,
expatriate Moroccans looking for a project they can sink their hard earned
foreign currency into. The last five years, though, have seen a sharp growth in
the number of British people buying property in Marrakech either as second
homes, guesthouses or holiday lets.

Climate Morocco
Morocco has a subtropical climate, tempered by oceanic influences that give the coastal regions moderate temperatures. Toward the interior, winters are colder and summers warmer, a more continental climate. At high altitudes temperatures of less than -17.8° C (0° F) are not uncommon, and mountain peaks are covered with snow during most of the year.
