Marrakech’s palmeraie has over 100,000 palm trees. These were planted during the Almoravid dynasty (eleventh and twelfth centuries) in 13,000 hectares.

The city’s palm grove is now considered an up-market place to live and to stay in Marrakech. It is the center of an important urban plan that includes mansions, hotels and golf clubs. For now, Palm Grove still has a mystical atmosphere and the buildings blend in well with the landscape.

Moreover, the Palm Grove of the city is still a source of wealth for Marrakech. Palm trees are highly productive and are used for wood and dates. Moreover, these trees create a good ecosystem for the fruit trees and the plantations in the area.
