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

Bab er-Robb or "Gate of the grape juice": it is by this way that the cooked wine of the vineyards of the oued N'Fis entered the city. The royal authorities could thus control the traffic. As the main communication route, it played a major defensive role at the time, controlling the road leading to the Ourika. It was on the doors of Bab er-Robb that in 1310 the Marinid Sultan Abu Thabit exposed the heads of 600 rebels as an example. By taking this door, today partly walled, one reaches directly the kasbah of Almohades.

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.
