Marrakech, with a population of approximately one million people, is predominantly inhabited by Berbers, the indigenous people of Morocco, and Arabs.
The city is a captivating fusion of lively activity, African-Arabic heritage, and serene contemplation. Marrakech is renowned for its enchanting parks, gardens, and the traditional African-Arabic architectural style that graces its streets.
Marrakech has a rich history, dating back to its founding in the mid-11th century when it served as the capital of a state that included Andalusia and part of the Maghreb. Over the centuries, the city endured conquests, periodic sackings by various Berber dynasties, sieges by the Portuguese, and a period as part of the French colonies. It's worth noting that while many of Marrakech's residents speak French, English is primarily spoken by service workers.
Following Morocco's independence, Marrakech emerged as a popular tourist destination.
