Tourist Attractions in Marrakech

Marrakech has been the capital of Morocco for more than a thousand years, has flourished, fallen into oblivion and become one of the main cities of Morocco again. There have been frequent changes of power, and each new dynasty has brought its own vision to the architecture. However, a number of sites, like the Medina or the Koutoubia Mosque, have managed to survive to this day.

In the last century, Marrakech began to attract Europeans. They were impressed by the local culture and measured way of life, and the guests were not indebted to the city. Artist Jacques Majorelle created an amazingly beautiful garden, and Dutch anthropologist Bert Flint presented the Moroccans with the Tiskiwin Museum, a collection of rarities from all over North Africa. Even the celebrated fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent was honoured with a museum for his contribution to Marrakech.
