Understanding Marrakech’s culture

To understand Marrakech’s culture it is necesary to know that Marrakech never has been Arabic but Berber. Arabs and Berbers mingle all over Morocco except for Marrakech that remains the Beber culture. Thinking in the beggining of the century it was the centre of the war against french perople and could has been a capital out of Morocco.

But anyway Marrakech took a strong position.It’s geographic situation is closed to the Atlas mountains and there’re the rooftops covered with snow near blue mountains, a real paradise that is visited by people serching luxury and that can pay for it.Marrakech city offers a lot of activities to do during summer or winter vacations such as excursions to the mountains, but if you don’t want to go out of your hotel there’s a possibility of the swimming pool into many of them, skiing is the best activity for winter vacations.

But the poor reputation of Marrakech, true or no true, stories came from forty years ago. Someone about women prostitution and child prostitution as describes Elias Canetti in his travelogue “The voices of Marrachek”.The mistery of this city invite people to come here to know the beautiful of its history, everything in Marrachek is extremely fascinated, large mosque, madrasa of Ben Yussef into the larger suuq beggining at the northen side of Jemaa-Fna.Talking about the architecture you can find the Almoravid Koubba goping 20-30 metres south of the mosque of Ben Yussef, El Bahia Palace, El-Bafi and Dr Si Said built to please sense, those with not enough gardens but can feel old greatness in Agfal garden.

Despite of the disagreements and the notoriety of the swindlers, the geographic and cultural landscape deservers to visit this beautiful city with the reminiscent of medieval times to dive into the stories of genius and magic carpets, prince rescues princesses, fights with knives. Ever thing we’ve read in books when we’re small children now visualize and imagine these situations and may be a lamp leaves a genius if you rub it to fulfill your wishes. This is a city of magic true.
