Medina of Marrakesh

Morocco is one of the African countries that I'd like to visit, and particularly Marrakesh. I receive a lot of e-mails of travel agencies and air-flight companies proposing this city and it doesn't seem to be expensive. It won't be in a near future but maybe one day

Bab Agnaou

Bab Agnaou is one of the nineteen gates of Marrakesh, Morocco. It was built in the 12th century in the time of the Almohad dynasty.

While Bab er Robb was the official entrance to the city, Bab Agnaou gives entrance to the royal kasbah in the southern part of the medina of Marrakech. The kasbah, built by the Almohad sultan Abu Yusuf Yaqub al-Mansur, is the site of El Mansouria (the kasbah mosque), the El Badi Palace and the Saadian Tombs. - in: wikipedia
