  Medina of Marrakesh

  The main attraction of Marrakech is its Medina (Historic Quarter of the city) with its main monuments and sites recognized for their heritage value, we find historic palaces, mosques, medersas (Koranic schools and traditional teachings) and museums. The old city of Marrakech is subdivided into several sub-districts, the richest are around the royal palace and timeless mosques, and the poorest who are concentrated in polluting industries like tanneries. In fact the middle and upper classes mostly left the Medina when the new towns were built by the french. Noadays the Medina is mainly popular with more bourgeois cores corresponding to the tourist activity, there is also a return of interest for the old city among the well-to-do classes. The moroccans are more and more aware of the heritage they have and which they must preserve.

It is mainly used in small quantities in cooking, as a preservative, seasoning or coloring, but also in medicine, in dyeing or in distilleries. The concept of spice is partially confused with that of aromatic, and to a lesser extent of condiment.
