Aïn Itti - Izeria

Aïn Itti (en arabe : عين إطّي, en berbère : ⵄⵉⵏ ⵉⵟⵟⵉ) est un quartier de Marrakech situé dans l'arrondissement Ennakhil. Il se déploie le long de la route de Fès (RN8), sur la rive droite de l'Oued Issil. En nombre d'habitants, Aïn Itti est le deuxième douar périurbain de Marrakech. Il a connu au cours du dernier quart du XXe siècle une croissance fulgurante, passant de 500 habitants en 1960 à 10 000 en 2000, croissance qui s'est maintenue au début des années 2000 puisque le quartier comptait environ 15 000 habitants en 2015. Le quartier a en effet été durant cette période un important réceptacle de l'exode rural, principalement en provenance du Haouz central (région d'Aït Ourir) et septentrional (régions de Tamellalt et Laâttaouia). Au nord de la route de Fès se trouve le douar d'Aïn Itti à proprement parler tandis qu'au sud, au-delà du cimetière Bab El Khemis, se trouvent les quartiers Zohour 1 et 2.

Villa Taylor

The Villa Taylor is an historic residence in the Guéliz district of Marrakesh, Morocco. The villa was built in the early-20th century by Moses Taylor, grandson of the merchant and banker Moses Taylor, and occupied after Taylor's death in 1921 by his widow, Edith Bishop Taylor. During the Second World War, the house was requisitioned by the American Government to house its Vice-Consul, Kenneth Pendar. In January 1943, Pendar hosted Franklin D. Roosevelt and Winston Churchill at the villa, following the Casablanca Conference. While staying at the villa, Churchill painted Tower of the Koutoubia Mosque, the only picture he undertook during the war. In 1947 Mrs Taylor sold the house to the mother of Comte Charles de Breteuil, who gave it to her son and his wife as a wedding present. The villa was subsequently bought by King Hassan II in 1985, who intended the house as a home for the Moroccan Crown Prince. This plan was not taken forward and the villa was abandoned and suffered neglect.

Zawiya of Sidi Bel Abbes

The Zawiya of Sidi Bel Abbes (Arabic: زاوية سيدي بلعباس) is a zawiya (Islamic Sufi religious complex) in Marrakesh, Morocco. The complex is centered around the mausoleum of Abu al-Abbas al-Sabti (or Sidi Bel Abbes), a Sufi teacher who died in 1204. He is the most venerated of the Seven Saints of Marrakesh, generally considered the "patron saint" of the city. The zawiya's architecture dates in part to the late Saadian period (early 17th century) but has been modified and restored multiple times during the Alawi period from the late 17th to 19th centuries. The complex includes many buildings of various functions arranged around two courtyards or plazas. The most important elements include the saint's mausoleum and a mosque, along with a madrasa, an asylum/hospice, and other facilities.
