Destination Review & Vlog of Marrakesh - an imperial city in Morocco, is a major economic center and home to mosques, palaces and gardens and ideal for a cultural and romantic holiday. The medina is a densely packed, walled medieval city dating to the Berber Empire, with mazelike alleys where thriving souks (marketplaces) sell traditional textiles, pottery and jewelry. A symbol of the city, and visible for miles, is the Moorish minaret of 12th-century Koutoubia Mosque. Founded in 1070–72 by the Almoravids, Marrakesh remained a political, economic and cultural centre for a long period. Its influence was felt throughout the western Muslim world, from North Africa to Andalusia. It has several impressive monuments dating from that period: the Koutoubiya Mosque, the Kasbah, the battlements, monumental doors, gardens, etc. Later architectural jewels include the Bandiâ Palace, the Ben Youssef Madrasa, the Saadian Tombs, several great residences and Place Jamaâ El Fna, (Djema el-Fna) a veritable open-air theatre, square and central market place in Marrakesh's UNESCO World Heritage medina quarter (old city) and a cultural symbol of the city.
