About Marrakech

Marrakesh, a former imperial city in western Morocco, is a major economic center and home to mosques, palaces and gardens. The medina is a densely packed, walled medieval city dating to the Berber Empire with mazelike alleys where thriving souks (marketplaces) sell traditional textiles, pottery and jewelry. Food vendors line Djemaa el-Fna, a broad square where storytellers and musicians perform. Like many Moroccan cities, Marrakesh comprises an old fortified city packed with vendors and their stalls (the medina), bordered by modern neighborhoods, the most prominent of which is Gueliz. Today it is one of the busiest cities in Africa and serves as a major economic centre and tourist destination. Tourism is strongly advocated by the reigning Moroccan monarch, Mohammed VI, with the goal of doubling the number of tourists visiting Morocco to 10 million by 2010. Marrakesh has 3 main museums, is full of shops selling crafts and has festivals including the International Film Festival of Marrakech.

Jewish History, POI & Kosher Establishments in Marrakech

Moroccan Jews constitute an ancient community. Before the founding of Israel in 1948, there were about 150,000 to 350,000 Jews in the country, which gave Morocco the largest Jewish community in the Muslim world, but fewer than 1,500 or so remain. The Jewish presence in what is today Morocco dates back over 1500 years, to at least the period of Carthaginian influence. As of 2004, Marrakech had an aging population of about 160 Jews, most over the age of 60.
