Claire Hallman
this doesnt make sense because it is supposed to be disscussing marakech but instead it talks about fez. Should we change it?
Claire Hallman
What should we put here ? should we still discuss fez walls?
Adeline Naon
Is this slide really necessary, I don't understand what it ties into
Adeline Naon
I feel like saying its a stretch of barren wasteland is not a "supporting" fact
Michael Turner
What in the living world is going to be inside this box?
Claire Hallman
It was going to be about the wall of fez but I cant seem to find enough consistent information about it so I probably wont put it in
Ciara Greene

Abdallah ibn Yasin’s rise to power
• Recruited by the Gudala to preach to their tribe.
• Expelled him from their tribe. • Sought refuge in a ribat.• While in the ribat, he created a highly
disciplined society known as the Almaravid.• Seized control of the Saharan Trade Route
o Unifying Islam• In 1070 Abu Bakr seized Marrakech and turned
it into the main military base
Almoravid● The empire stretched 3,000 kilometers
north to south. ● The Almoravids built the city of
Marrakech, an influential center of power.
● In 1083 the king of Seville asked the Almoravid army to protect them from the advancing christian army. ○ The Muslim influence in modern
day Spain and other surrounding areas is due to the Almoravids effort in stopping the christian army

Marrakech
Almoravid Koubba • The Koubba- architecture from
the Almoravid left in Marrakech.
• Built in 1117 and managed to survive until it was excavated in 1952.
• The architecture exemplifies the features of Almohad design: unique shape of the windows, merlons, and the geometric shaped designs.

Some more general facts about the Almoravids, and explains where the English name "Almoravid" comes from.
"A Luxury Boutique Hotel in the Heart of Ancient Marrakech." History Of Marrakesh – History Of Marrakech. N.p., n.d. Web. 05 Feb. 2014.
Though this is a travel website, it gave us some information about Marrakesh, since that's the point of the website in the first place.
"Almoravid Architecture (1061-1147)." SkyscraperCity RSS. N.p., 07 Dec. 2007. Web. 05 Feb. 2014.
This told us about the architectural standpoint of Northern Africa, mainly Morocco back then. It also gave us tons of images to look at, and tons of background information to account for it.
Why Us?• Rose swiftly and spread.• Saharan trade route• Relatively no war going on. People Used peace to
to convert to the Muslim religion unlike dictators and monarchs.
• Abdallah Ibn Yasin spread Islam. • The Almoravids military cultivated Islam throughout
Spain and it’s surrounding areas.
