OVERVIEW

Marrakech City Guided Tour

Marrakech City Guided Tour it is your opportunity to learn about  the second oldest imperial city  in Morocco, Marrakech was founded in the 10^th century  by Sultan Youssef ben Tachfine who is credited with construction of the defensive walls that encircle the city. Extended to 19 kms during the dynasties of the Almohades and Saadiens, the spectacular city walls, varying in color between pink and red, are punctuated by 200 square towers and nine monumental gates. The prosperity of Marrakech at this time made it a fitting capital for an empire which stretched from Algiers to the Atlantic and from the Mediterranean almost to Senegal.Following 4 centuries of the Berber dynasties emanating from the indigenous tribes of the Atlas Mountains (the Almoravides, Almohades and Merinides, who ruled until 1465), the 16 th century saw the arrival of rulers of Arabic origin. The wealthy Saadiens (1554-1603) were responsible for unifying Morocco as one country. In 1659 the Alouites came to the throne (occupied from 1672-1727 by Moulay Ismail, the most famous of all the sultans) and still rule Morocco today.
