There is a modern tendency for cities, especially European cities, to grow more alike – the same vehicles, the same shops, the same clothes, the same restaurants. There are few places just a few hours fl ight away that offer an experience as different as Marrakech, not only outside Europe but beyond the Mediterranean coast. Founded by a Saharan chieftain in the 11th-century it grew rich on trade in gold and ivory fi nally culminating in its recognition as the capital of an empire stretching from Toledo to Senegal. Worthy of this former status are its palaces, mosques, Koutoubia, the 12th-century minaret dominating the skyline, city gardens and medina and the Djemma el-Fna (Square of the Dead), the city square which comes alive after nightfall; thronged with dancers, fortune-tellers, musicians, acrobats, storytellers and snake charmers.
