About 950 years from 1071 CE to 2026 · Approximate Almoravid foundation. This is a reference milestone, not the first human presence.

Marrakech was founded by the Almoravids around 1070–1072. Its medina developed into an influential centre of politics, trade and culture. The date is a range rather than a precisely established birthday.

Explore the medina as living heritage. The artwork imagines a storytelling gathering, not a scheduled performance.

Before you book: timing, access & value
  • Check the nearest stop, first and last departures, frequency and full-loop time.
  • Check whether the ticket lasts a calendar day or a number of hours, and which routes it includes.
  • Ask about step-free boarding, wheelchair spaces, stroller storage, seating and audio languages.
  • Compare the fare with local public transport. A sightseeing ticket is not automatically a transit pass.
