Oltre che a portarvi a spasso .. un altra cosa che mi manca tantissimo e aspettarvi all aeroporto Sotto il gazebo fumatori , e i miei viaggiatori lo sanno .. li , seduta, musica , sigaretta e l attesa ogni giorno di nuovi amici in arrivo Sapevo che da quella porta da li a poco sarebbero usciti i miei futuri nuovi amici.. L’aeroporto internazionale di Marrakech ė diventato, secondo i media internazionali, unondei piu belli al mondo Menara (RAK) si trova a 4 chilometri di distanza dal centro ed è una struttura moderna che serve la Regione del Marocco centrale di Marrakech-Tensift-El Haouz. All’interno dello scalo aeroportuale potete trovare bar, ristoranti, una pasticceria, un negozio di libri e una tabaccheria, negozi duty-free,  negozi di souvenir marocchini e due punti di cambio valuta. L’aeroporto di Marrakech è collegato con molti voli da e per l’aeroporto di Casablanca, raggiungibile in appena 45 minuti. Le compagnie aeree che servono lo scalo sono Air France, Atlas Blue, British Airways, easyJet, Iberia, Royal Air Maroc, Ryanair e Swiss. Come raggiungere il centro di Marrakech dall’aeroporto L’autobus numero 19 parte ogni 30 minuti da e per l’aeroporto. Si può prendere l’autobus pubblico numero 11, che passa ogni 15 minuti, dalla piazza centrale di Djemaa el-Fna nella città vecchia. Da e per l’aeroporto è disponibile il servizio taxi, ma prima di salire sulle vetture assicuratevi di concordare con il tassista la tariffa esatta per la vostra destinazione. Sono diversi gli sportelli di noleggio auto presso l’aeroporto di Marrakech, nella zona di arrivo di entrambi i terminal. Io personalmente comunque consiglio sempre a tutti di accordarsi per il transfert con il riad .. evitate di contrattare e soprattutto venite portati direttamente alla struttura perchr ricordatevi che la medina di marrakech ė interamente pedonale, un labirinto, non ė semplice orientarsi appena arrivati e google map vi sara di poco aiuto . https://www.instagram.com/p/COU2aAFnUgC/?igshid=ycare7zxg83n

Marrakech - The Pearl of The South

Traveling To Marrakech

Marrakech is probably one of the most famous in all of Africa. Marrakech is also known as the Red City or Al Hamra, the garden city, the lively city of Morocco, and the Pearl of the South. It is a very important city in North Africa, and was the former imperial city of Morocco, where it is located. Currently, Marrakech is the capital of the economic region of Marrakech-Tensift-Al-Haouz. Near Marrakech is located near the towering Atlas Mountains, which dominate much of Morocco.

Currently, the population of Marrakech is just over one million people, and the city has an international airport that you can use to fly directly to the city. You can also fly to Casablanca, and take the rail link to the city if you feel like seeing the countryside.

In Marrakech, as with many North African cities, there is an old fortified city called the Medina. This is now a huge open air bazaar and trading area where you can buy a wide sort of goods, and you can choose to just walk through the Medina and check out the various venders who call the city home.

The traditional market in Marrakech is the largest in Morocco and it also boasts one of the busiest squares, the Medina, not only in Africa, but the world as well. Walking through the Medina, you can watch acrobats, water sellers, dancers, musicians and more. When night falls, the entire Medina turns into one big open-air restaurant and it is truly a sight to see.

Some people worry about going to Marrakech because it is a foreign city and many assume that means that it is a violent and dangerous city because it is in Africa. This is not the case at all. In fact, Marrakech is a very safe city and it has a very good police presence. However, as with any place that you travel you want to make sure you stay safe. Violent crime is not a big problem within the city, but there are plenty of thefts and pickpockets so keep your money close to you and do not flash it around. Do not go down alleys or poorly lit streets at night.

When a guide offers to give you a tour of the city, make sure they have an official badge that has been provided by local tourist authorities. If you are a solo traveller, you should be aware of the possibility of being drugged. If you feel you are drugged, take action immediately to find help.

Marrakech is not only an amazing city, but it is a very safe one and you do not need to worry especially during the day. If you are being bothered, just stick up for yourself and tell the people bothering you to leave and they usually will. While in Marrakech, check out the beautiful homes, lovely streets and amazing countryside around the city. It is a very interesting place to see and when you are traveling to Morocco, no trip is complete until you stop in this city that has been immortalized in film and music.

Marrakech : contexte géographique et historique de la gestion de l’eau

J’ai eu la chance de pouvoir passer une après-midi au musée Mohamed VI pour la civilisation de l’eau, qui a été ouvert en 2017 par le ministère des habous et des affaires islamiques. Le musée se décline par thème sur trois niveaux, avec des approches à la fois techniques, culturelles, et historiques. 

Cette visite m’a permis d’en apprendre un peu plus sur la gestion de l’eau dans la ville de Marrakech. 

Contexte géographique

La ville de Marrakech compte environ 900 000 habitants et se situe sur la plaine du Haouz, limitée au Sud par les montagnes du haut-atlas, et au Nord par les montagnes du Jbilet. La moyenne des précipitations y est de 250/mm/an. En comparaison, en France les précipitations sont en moyenne de 700mm/an. La principale source d’eau de la région est le bassin de Tensift. Ce bassin est certes considérable, mais il ne couvre pas les besoins en eau de la région

La gestion traditionnelle et historique de l’eau

Avant toute chose, il est fondamental de comprendre que l’eau occupe une place primordiale dans la culture arabe et marocaine,  notamment dans le livre sacré du Coran et dans la tradition prophétique. En effet, l’eau y est considéré comme un don du ciel, un don de dieu. La question de sa gestion n’est donc pas anodine, que ce soit en termes de distribution ou en termes de gestion des eaux usées, et relève à la fois du spirituel et du temporel. 

Historiquement, la ville de Marrakech était alimenté en eau par le système ingénieux des «Khetarrats» . Développé au 12e siècle, ce système hydraulique original permettait de drainer l’eau depuis les montagnes de l’Atlas vers Marrakech à travers un réseau de galeries souterraines. Tous les 50 mètres, on creusait un puit non pas pour puiser l’eau, mais pour creuser et connecter les différentes galeries entre elles. L’eau drainée était ensuite accumulée soit dans des bassins, soit dans des digues. A termes, plus de 3 000 km de galeries ont été creusées dans la région de Marrakech, formant ainsi une véritable fourmilière.

Avec l’urbanisation croissante, la croissance démographique, et le réchauffement climatique, le niveau des nappes phréatiques a baissé et les khetarrats sont devenues obsolètes et ont progressivement été abandonnées au profit de systèmes d’irrigations plus modernes et plus précis. Néanmoins, ces khetarrats marquent encore aujourd’hui les paysages urbains et s’ils ne sont presque plus utilisées, ils constituent une partie du patrimoine géo touristique de Marrakech.

La gestion de l’eau aujourd’hui à Marrakech

A partir des années 1970, le roi Hassan II a lancé une grande politique de barrages pour satisfaire une activité agricole de plus en plus productiviste, ainsi que les besoins des grands complexes touristiques.  Une dizaine de barrages et de canaux ont été construits. Ainsi aujourd’hui, 40% de l’eau de Marrakech est  acheminée à travers le barrage Hassan 1er–Sidi Driss et du canal de Rocade qui distribuent sur plus de 118 km les eaux de l’Oued Lakhdar. 40 % des eaux proviennent d’autres sources aux alentours, et 20% des eaux sont encore puisées dans les nappes phréatiques. D’ici 2020 néanmoins, de nouveaux travaux hydrauliques permettront d’acheminer sur plus de 150 km les eaux du Oum-Er-Ribia et les eaux du barrage Al-Massira, ce qui permettra à Marrakech de ne plus du tout puiser dans ses eaux souterraines.

               Marrakech, une ville modèle en termes de gestion des eaux usées

Pendant des années, les eaux usées ont été déversées dans les oued, la palmeraie, et les champs ruraux . Ainsi chaque jour 100 000 mètres cube d'eau usée venaient polluer les nappes souterraines et dégrader l’environnement ainsi que les risques de maladies pour les populations. Dès 1998, l'assainissement des eau est devenu une priorité politique au sein de la ville de Marrakech à travers un plan qui s'est découlé sous 3 objectifs : - restructurer le réseau d'asainissement des eaux usées - éviter qu'elles soient déversées directement dans la nature - et les traiter

Plusieurs parties prenantes ont été impliquées : la Radeema, la régie autonome de distribution d'eau et électricité de Marrakech, et plusieurs grandes entreprises d’ingénieusement environnementale (Waterlau, IGIP, golden state).

Ce projet a mis plusieurs années à aboutir à la construction d'une grande station d’assainissement des eaux usées et d'un réseau d'acheminement de l'eau vers la palmeraie et les golfs environnants . Cette station, certifiée par les Nations-Unies,  fait aujourd'hui de Marrakech un modèle en termes de gestion des eaux usées dans la région. Elle répond aux normes les plus strictes en termes de qualité de l'eau, et traite absolument toutes les eaux usées de Marrakech.  En outre, la station permet à travers la récupération de biogaz de produire de électricité verte qui sert à alimenter la station : ainsi, la station est auto-suffisante en électricité pour 50% de ses besoins.

Essaouira (الصويرة) is located in the western Moroccan region of Marrakech-Tensift-Al Haouz, on the Atlantic. . The city was known in the time of 11th-century Geographer al-Bakri and was called Sidi Megdoul. In the 16th-century, a corruption of this name became known to the Portuguese as Mogador. The Berber and Arabic names mean the wall, a reference to the former fortress walls. Archaeological research shows that Essaouira has been occupied since prehistoric times. The bay, partially sheltered by the island of Mogador, making it a peaceful harbor protected against strong marine winds. The Carthaginian navigator Hanno visited in the 5th century BC and established a trading post. Around the end of the 1st century BCE, the Berber king Juba II established a Tyrian purple factory, processing murex and purpura shells found in the rocks at Essaouira. This dye colored the purple stripe in Imperial Roman Senatorial togas. A Roman villa was excavated on Mogador island, and a Roman vase was found as well as coinage from the 3rd century CE. Most of the artifacts can now be viewed in the Sidi Mohammed ben Abdallah Museum and the Rabat Archaeological Museum. In the early 1950s film director Orson Welles stayed at the Hotel des Iles during the filming of his 1952 classic version of “Othello” which contains several memorable scenes shot in the labyrinthine streets and alleyways of the medina. Legend has it that during Welles’s sojourn in the town he met Winston Churchill, another guest at the hotel. Beginning in the late 1960s, Essaouira became something of a hippie hangout. Despite common misconception, Jimi Hendrix’s song “Castles Made of Sand” was written in 1967, 2 years before he visited Essaouira. Cat Stevens also spent some time in Essaouira. #Morocco #Essaouira #InstaWiki #MoroccanNomad #MoroccanTravels (at Essaouira Mogador الصويرة موكادور)
