As eternal as the snows on the highest peaks, as impressive as the Atlas Mountains, as steeped in
       history as the palm trees are rooted in the earth, the perfect proportions of the Ménara pavilion may
       be contemplated, mirrored in the quiet still waters that stand before it, you cannot miss Marrakesh.
       The mightiest kings fought for it, a line of dynasties inherited it, sages, craftsmen, architects, painters
       and sculptors of all ages built magnificent
       palaces, mosques, gardens and Koranic
       schools. Marrakesh, the imperial city which, at
       dawn of its history, gave Morocco its name.

       The Berbers and the Arabs come together
       here, to mingle with the nomads and the
       mountain people. Every imaginable commodity
       abounds, craftsmanship flourishes, and there
       are palaces, hotels, restaurants, golf courses
       and a casino:
       Marrakesh is the unchallenged capital of
       Southern Morocco.

       highest bidder... "Marocevasions.com"
