2. The Mellah quarter, (Jewish quarter) is part of the fabric of the city, a liminal space for the Muslims inhabitants of the city. This was an exclusive area for the Jewish community, and in which Muslims were allowed to enter in the daytime but remained closed at night, a space in which Muslims came to pursue economic activities and pay reverence to the Muslim saints found in the area, an area that Muslims identify with as part of Marrakech. Yet, it was also a space that was “betwixt and between” because, it was not a Muslim area. The Mellah quarter of Marrakech is one of the biggest Jewish quarters of Morocco created by the Jews arrived from Spain and Portugal. These Jews, known in Hebrew as the Megorashim, or the exiles, changed the make-up of the Moroccan Jewish by introducing new customs.

About Marrakech

Ved foden af Atlasbjergene er rødmuret Marrakech berømt for sin labyrintiske medina, livlige hovedtorv og fredelige riads og haver.

Jemaa el-Fnaa, det store torv i medinaens centrum, skifter karakter gennem dagen, fra saftsælgere og slangetæmmere om morgenen til røgfyldte madboder og musikanter efter mørkets frembrud. Koutoubia-moskeens minaret rejser sig i nærheden som byens vartegn, og soukerne breder sig mod nord i en labyrint af stræder, der sælger læder, lanterner, tæpper og krydderier.

Top-ranked sights in Marrakech: Atlas Mountains, Tizi-n'Tichka Pass, Jemaa el-Fna (Djemaa el-Fna).
