The Story of Marrakech in a Few Words
Marrakech was founded in 1070 by the Almoravids and soon became one of the great imperial cities of Morocco. Its red walls, gates and gardens grew over almost a thousand years, and today the medina is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Without stories, many places look like old walls. With a Marrakech city tour guide, every door, fountain and palace has a meaning: who built it, how families lived in the riads, and why the souks are organized by craft. This is what makes a guided visit so much richer than walking alone.
