The magical Medina is the Moroccan culture embedded in people’s daily life.
Typically walled, the traditional Medina invites you to explore its deepest treasures while meandering its narrow streets. Artisan shops, fountains, mosques. Hundreds of people live and work inside of its ochre walls, passing their know-how on to other generations.
In Fez, Tetouan, Essaouira and Marrakech, these car-free and most best conserved historic towns have quickly become World Heritage. Whether it’s located in an imperial city, a coastal city, or in mountains, Medinas will take you back in history.
Explore its puzzling old districts, and dive into its magical atmosphere!
Just like the other medinas of Morocco, the World heritage medina of Marrakech, is the most historic and most visited district of the city. Beautifully surrounded by walls, forming several gateways, it is the beating heart of the "ochre" city.
Not far from the entry, the charming Koutoubia mosque built under Almoravid dynasty’s reign, is located in the southwest medina of Marrakesh near the so called Jemaa el-Fna. Surrounded by gardens, this emblematic figure served as a model for the La Giralda mosque in Seville.
As you stroll in its traditional quarters, you’ll find
bazaars, traditional souks, museums, Riads, and café terraces that will make you enjoy its particular activities.
All these places give access to the Jamaâ El Fna square, which is magically transformed into an open-air theatre as the night falls.
Marrakech’s medina is home to some of the oldest kept traditions of Morocco – like this time-worn heritage of
hikayat (Arabic for storytelling). A cornerstone of Moroccan culture for more than a thousand years, it was originally a tradition among Berber general-kings. Since long before televisions and the internet, hikayat was also a primary means of entertainment. “
