  Marrakesh Agreement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Marrakesh Agreement, signed in Marrakech, Morocco, on April 15, 1994, established the World Trade Organization, which came into being upon its entry into force on January 1, 1995.
The Marrakesh Agreement developed out of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, which it includes; but it supplemented it with several other agreements, on such issues as trade in services, sanitary and plant health measures, trade-related aspects of intellectual property, and technical barriers to trade.
The various agreements which make up the Marrakesh Agreement combine as an indivisible whole; no entity can be party to any one agreement without being party to them all.

 Marrakesh by James Henderson | Travel Reviews from Travel Intelligence
Marrakesh 'the Red' has the colours and shapes of the Moroccan South; the dusty rose of the desert; and the stout, square walls, their regular lines broken occasionally by a minaret or the scratchy brush of a date palm.
The climate is all light and warmth, and you are surrounded by exotic plants and fruit trees.
After a cocktail on the candle-lit roof-terrace, with a view of the night skyline and the Koutoubia mosque, you descend to the courtyard around the pool or to the inner dining rooms where the tables are strewn with rose petals.
