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.
