Marrakech
The medina as a place to own property in
The Marrakech medina is not one market. It is a set of overlapping micro-markets — Laksour, Mouassine, Kasbah, Mellah, Bab Doukkala, Riad Zitoun, Sidi Ben Slimane, and a dozen smaller quarters — each with its own price curve, its own buyer profile, its own building stock, and its own conventions around title.
This landing is a way in. The quarter pages below go deeper, one quarter at a time.
