مناظر لمراكش وتاريخ المغرب
Marrakech (Morocco, مراكش، المغرب) was founded in 1062 by Youssef bin Tachfine of the Almoravid dynasty. His son perfected the city by bringing in architects and craftsmen from Cordoba to build palaces, baths, mosques and a subterranean water system (Morocco history)

The city walls were raised from the red mud of the plains, with the snow-covered peaks of the High Atlas Mountains forming a backdrop for the city. Marrakech is not only a fantastic city, it is also a symbol of the Morocco that
once was, and which still survives here. In the center of Marrakech is a square, Djemaa el fna, which is the operating point for entertainers such as acrobats, drummers, dancers, pipe musicians, comedians and storytellers. The city is known by the Koutoubia mosque, which is visible from practically
anywhere in Marrakech. Marrakech has mild winters, hot summers and perfects
springs and winters...and the sky is usually clear and blue. Because
of its geographic location and touristic reputation, Marrakech has excellent
airline connections to the entire country. Its international airport
also offers connections to Europe, South and North America.
Marrakech-Menara Airport (RAK) is situated four miles (6 km) southwest of Marrakech.

The history of Morocco
The history of Morocco spans over twelve centuries – since the establishment of the Moroccan state by the Idrisid dynasty, without taking classical antiquity into consideration.
Morocco was under two protectorates; Spain in the north (Rif) and the south (Sahara) and France in the middle. In 1956, he has had its independence partially and continued to demand the return of its remaining territories administered by Spain in particular. In 1957,
the Moroccan Army of Liberation nearly occupied the small territory of Sidi-Ifni, north of Spanish Sahara, during the Ifni War. The Spanish sent a regiment of paratroopers from the nearby Canary Islands and were
able to repel the attacks. With the assistance of the Frenc Spain soon
re-established control in the area (Operaciones Teide-Ecoubillon - see
http://www.portierramaryaire.com/foro/viewtopic.php?p=79371
- in Spanish). Spain united the territories of Saguia el Hamra and Río
de Oro to form the province of Spanish Sahara, while ceding the provinces
of Tarfaya and Tantan (Cape Juby strip) to Morocco. In November 1975,
the Green March was a strategic mass demonstration, coordinated by the
Moroccan government, to force Spain to hand over the disputed, autonomous
semi-metropolitan province of Spanish Sahara to Morocco. The Madrid
Accords, also called Madrid Agreement or Madrid Pact, was a treaty between
Spain, Morocco, and Mauritania to end the Spanish presence in the territory
of Spanish Sahara, which was until the Madrid Accords' inception a Spanish
province and former colony. It was signed in Madrid on November 14,
1975. Today the Moroccan Sahara is experiencing a remarkable development
with the advanced regionalization and the proposed greater autonomy
under the sovereignty of Morocco
