Jamaa Alfna Square (Amazigh: ⴰⴱⴰⵔⴰⵣ ⵏ ⵊⴰⵎⵄ ⵍⴼⵏⴰ, Arabic: ساحة جامع الفنا, "Place of the Mosque of the Departed") is a famous public square in the southwest of the Medina. na from Marrakech in Morocco. This traditional, popular and lively mecca, especially at night, attracts more than a million visitors each year. Jemaa el-Fna embodies the diversity of Moroccan identity due to the presence of representatives of the different cultures that make up Morocco: Arabs, Berbers, Gnaouas1. “The cultural space of the Jemaa el-Fna square” has been listed as intangible cultural heritage since 2008 (proclamation in 2001) and as world heritage since 1985 by Unesco2.
A first mosque was built in 1148 by Sultan Almohade Abdelmoumen after conquering Marrakech. He will rebuild a second version of similar size around 1158. This is the current version, the first having been demolished. Abu Yusuf Ben Tachafin will finalize the construction of the minaret around 11953. The Koutoubia is considered an important example of Almohad architecture and the architecture of Moroccan mosques in general3. The 77-meter minaret is decorated with different geometric patterns and topped with a spire and metal orbs. It probably inspired other buildings such as the Giralda in Seville and the Hassan Tower in Rabat, which were built soon after at the same time4,5,6,7. The minaret is also considered an urban landmark and an important symbol of Marrakech.
The medina of Marrakech is a Moroccan medina, the historic heart of Marrakech. It forms one of the five districts that make up the urban municipality of Marrakech. We take a tour of the old medina, Cartier of the Jews

About Agadir
Agadir is Morocco's sunny Atlantic resort, with a long sandy bay, a palm-lined promenade and the High Atlas and the Souss Valley at its back.
The city's broad crescent of sand stretches for miles, backed by a seafront promenade lined with cafés and restaurants. Above it, the hilltop ruins of the old kasbah, Agadir Oufella, give sweeping views across the bay, with the national motto spelled out in giant Arabic letters on the slope beneath.
