Marrakesh! Enchanting, extraordinary, evocative, and enthralling! Founded for enormous conquests, for many years the capital of an empire, a political, economic, and cultural centre, and today it is the sum of everything that ever ran through its narrow, red streets, over legendary squares and along a city wall which has seen it all happen and still embraces this fairy tale city. It is no wonder that artists, bohemians, adventurers, and pleasure lovers have been attracted for centuries to this city, and today millions of tourists pour in from all corners of the globe to experience the 1001 nights’ fairy tale which is still being told here in well-kept and exceedingly evocative surroundings. From the start, it has been a great joy and a privilege to be allowed the opportunity to write about Marrakesh, exploring the city, visiting sights, spending hours on research, collecting notes, interviewing people, snapping thousands of pictures, and subsequently devoting days and weeks in front of the computer to compile all these impressions into a narrative. Everything you find in this book, I have tried and tested myself – I have eaten at every one of the restaurants, I have visited all the sights, I have experienced all four seasons in the city, and I have walked and walked through all corners of the medina in order to encounter new adventures. When I say that I am writing about Marrakesh, I usually get one of three reactions. Either people say, ‘Ah! I’ve always dreamt of visiting that place!’ or, ‘Great! I am just planning a trip there’ or, ‘Funny, I’ve just come back from there, and I am definitely going back!’ Mar- rakesh has been on everybody’s lips in recent years, and the reasons are legion. This is a city waiting to be discovered, experienced, and/or revisited. If you are reading this now, my guess is that you are going to find yourself in one of the above categories; no matter which of the three – or maybe even a fourth – you will be very welcome – here, in this book as well as in the red city! My hope is that you will make use of the book for inspiration before your trip, as your guide during your stay, and when you are going to decide on what to do and where to go for good food. And then, of course, there are lots of background stories along the way, the types that will hopefully help to give you a much more intense and interesting experience of this unique destination. I wish you and your fellow travellers an unforgettable journey to Marrakesh! Maria Wittendorff 6 A LONG STORY SHORT Before exploring the city, it is a good idea to have a look at its history.

    Islamic Gardens Amy Rebecca Gansell This course explores gardens of the Islamic World, covering a breadth of historical, cultural, geographic, and environmental contexts. After being introduced to the Islamic world, the nature of specifically “Islamic” gardens is considered. While formal design and aesthetic experience is emphasized throughout, religious, social, and political implication of landscape design are studied through historic cases. Evidence for past gardens, archaeology, and garden conservation are addressed as well.

These books may be consulted for reference throughout the semester. -R.

    © Lonely Planet Publications 227 Imperial Cities, RegionMiddle Atlas & the East ﺍﻷﻃﻠﺲ ﺍﻟﻤﺘﻮﺳﻂ ﻭﺍﻟﺸﺮﻕ ﺭﻬﺸ ﻯﺭﻭﺘﺍﺭﭙﻤﺍ If you were to look for Morocco in microcosm, this region would take the title. Its diversity runs the spectrum from ancient cities and ruins to grand mountain vistas and desert oases. The plains of the north have acted as Morocco’s breadbasket for centuries, feeding the rise of cities whose culture went on to dominate the rest of the country. The Romans were the first to get in on the act, and left remains at Volubilis as testament. IMPERIAL CITIES, MIDDLE The streets of Fez’s World Heritage medina rank high on the must-see list of any visitor to & THE EAST ATLAS the country. Getting lost amid the souqs and alleys is an unforgettable (and often unavoid- able) way to spend a day. Meknès, another imperial capital and near neighbour to Fez offers a more pocket-sized version of the medina experience. To the south, the land rises into the limestone range of the Middle Atlas, which are home to the Barbary ape, Morocco’s only monkey. The area is made for hiking, and in winter the wealthy still come here to ski. Across the mountains, towns like Midelt herald drier climes, and the distinctive kasbahs of the south begin to make an appearance. The desert isn’t far away, and by the time you reach the oasis of Figuig, the olive tree has long given way to the date palm.

  • A Note from Sir Richard Branson
    A NOTE FROM SIR RICHARD BRANSON “ In 1998, I went to Morocco with the goal of circumnavigating the globe in a hot air balloon. Whilst there, my parents found a beautiful Kasbah and dreamed of turning it into a wonderful Moroccan retreat. Sadly, I didn’t quite manage to realise my goal on that occasion, however I did purchase that magnificent Kasbah and now my parents’ dream has become a reality. I am pleased to welcome you to Kasbah Tamadot, (Tamadot meaning soft breeze in Berber), which is perhaps one of the most beautiful properties in the high Atlas Mountains of Morocco. I hope you enjoy this magical place; I’m sure you too will fall in love with it.” Sir Richard Branson 2- 5 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW 14 Babouches ACTIVITIES AT KASBAH Babysitting TAMADOT Cash and credit cards Stargazing Cigars Trekking in the Atlas Mountains Departure Asni Market Tours WELCOME TO KASBAH TAMADOT Do not disturb Cooking classes Fire evacuation routes Welcome to Kasbah Tamadot (pronounced: tam-a-dot)!

A magnificent array of architecture set against the snow-capped peaks of the High Atlas Mountains, beneath a brilliant blue sky that reveals the city’s true nature – a luxuriant, sun-soaked oasis, heady with the scent of the jasmine and orange blossom that adorn its gardens. Within its adobe walls, in the sun-streaked shade, the medina’s teeming streets are alive with activity. A hubbub of voices calling back and forth, vibrant colours, the air filled with the fragrance of cedar wood and countless spices. Sounds, colours and smells unite gloriously to compose an astonishing sensorial symphony. Marrakech, city of legend, cultural capital, inspirer of artists, fashions and Bab Agnaou leads to Marrakech’s events; Marrakech with its art galleries, festivals, and exhibitions; Marrakech main palaces with its famous names, its luxurious palaces and its glittering nightlife.
