Approx. 10 km from Menara airport. With 850,000 inhabitants, Marrakech is one of the four imperial cities of Morocco. About 10 km long, the ramparts of Marrakech form an impressive enclosure of hard-packed clay and lime encasing a rich and fascinating culture. Several buildings in the enclosure are testimony to this culture, including the Bahia Palace, the Ben Youssef Madrasa, the tombs of Saadi princes and the Koutoubia mosque, to name but a few.
