Bab er-Robb or "Grape Juice Gate", a main thoroughfare leading directly to the Almohad kasbah

Bab er-Robb or "Grape Juice Gate": this was the route by which cooked wine from the vineyards of the Oued N'Fis entered the city. This enabled the royal authorities to control traffic. As the main communication route, it played a key defensive role at the time, guarding the road leading to the Atlas Mountains. In 1310, the Marinid sultan Abou Thabit displayed the heads of 600 rebellious opponents on the gates of Bab er-Robb. This partly walled gateway leads directly to the Almohad kasbah.

Far from the big tourist souks, this district of Marrakech is detours. Welcomed by a rapporchée protector of storks to the plumage ragamuffin and hoqueteux cries, you will discover a myriad of craftsmen, repairers of Mobylettes in garages for microcars, scrap merchants, together with craftspersons and barbers. The fishmongers search for cats with long ears... and surprise, behind a mosque, you will find yourself at the entrance to the saadian tombs, spared crenellated wonder abandoned.
