Porte Bab Er Robb- Travel Tips
What to See, How to Plan & Tours- 5 Reviews
Porte Bab Er Robb, a historic southern gate of Marrakech, connects the medina to the mountain routes leading to Amizmiz and Asni. Believed to date back to the Almohad period under Ya'qub al-Mansur, some experts, like architect Quentin Wilbaux, suggest an earlier Almoravid origin based on its strategic positioning. The gate is notable for its distinctive angled design, featuring a rare 180-degree bent passage housed within a bastion. Its name, linked to the trade of a cooked wine from the Neffis River, adds to its historical intrigue. French studies in 1912 detailed its structure, highlighting its evolving role in Marrakech's fortifications.

It’s not look so gorgeous as photos show. Not so large, not so beautiful. But there is a history behind it so it’s important to visit such a places like this. When you walk inside the gate there are lots of ways so it is easy to be lost. I like this experience. Very cool!
