Marrakech stands as one of Morocco's most significant Islamic cities, home to the magnificent Kutubiyya Mosque with its iconic 12th-century minaret that dominates the city skyline. The city flourished under the Almoravid and Almohad dynasties, becoming a major center of Islamic learning and culture in North Africa. Today, Marrakech preserves its rich Islamic heritage through its medina's traditional architecture, bustling souks, and vibrant Muslim community that continues centuries-old traditions.
