Marrakech was founded in the 11th century; its medina, with monuments like Koutoubia, reflects centuries of Almoravid and Almohad architecture and was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Conservation
Water scarcity and heavy foot traffic strain historic sites—minimize plastic, stay on marked paths, and choose licensed guides to support responsible tourism.
