WHAT DOES MARRAKECH MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Marrakech

Marrakesh

Marrakesh or Marrakech is a major city in the northwest African country of Morocco. It is the third largest city in the country and is the capital of the mid-southwestern region of Marrakesh-Tensift-El Haouz. Marrekesh is located to the north of the foothills of the snow-capped Atlas Mountains. By road, Marrakesh is located 327 km southwest of the Moroccan capital of Rabat. Marrakesh is the most important of Morocco's four former imperial cities. The region was inhabited by Berber farmers from Neolithic times, but the actual city was founded in 1062 by Abu Bakr ibn Umar, chieftain and cousin of Almoravid king Yusuf ibn Tashfin. In the 12th century, the Almoravids built many madrasas and mosques in Marrakesh that bear Andalusian influences. The red walls of the city, built by Ali ibn Yusuf in 1122-1123, and various buildings constructed in red sandstone during this period, have given the city the nickname of the "Red City" or "Ochre City". Marrakesh grew rapidly and established itself as a cultural, religious, and trading centre for the Maghreb and sub-Saharan Africa; Jemaa el-Fnaa is the busiest square in Africa.
