The authorities of the time had the whole area needed to build lavish palaces and guest house in the medina of Marrakech. The famous walled city of about 9 meters high, have been redesigned several times by successive dynasties that dominated Marrakech.

History of Marrakech

“Marrakech” is the etymology of the word “Morocco”. The Arab historians of the past had used the name, “Marrakech” (Mraksch ), which gradually became “Morocco”or “MaRueco” and was thus used throughout the country. Around 1000 BC Marrakech was a caravan camp until the Almoravids picked her for their military post. In 1062 the first mosque was built by Youssef Ibn Tachfine followed by many more to come. At that time the great plantation of the palm trees , the “Palmeraie”, was started. Marrakech was then chosen as the capital of the kingdom. But the end of the Almoravids' Era was the start in the decline of the city until the 16th century when it gained back its position as capital of the Saadians. Shortly after that dynasty, Marrakech had been set aside politically, but gained back her importance only recently by other means, namely - tourism, luxury, art and culture.
