About the Tournament
The Grand Prix Hassan II, commonly known as the Marrakech Open, is an ATP 250 clay-court and a prestigious event with a rich history - the tournament was inaugurated as an ATP Challenger event in 1984 and was upgraded to ATP Tour status in 1990
What makes this tournament particularly significant is that it's the only ATP Tour-level event held on the African continent The event is entirely funded by Morocco's King Mohammed VI, and the tournament was relocated from Casablanca to Marrakech in 2016 The tournament has produced some memorable champions over the decades, including two Moroccan winners who triumphed in their home country: Hicham Arazi in 1997 and Younes El Aynaoui in 2002
The competition typically takes place in March or April each year and serves as an important lead-up tournament for the French Open. Players compete on the clay courts at the Royal Tennis Club de Marrakech

Marrakech is the fourth largest city in Morocco, after Casablanca, Fes and Tangier. The strategy of Morocco is to develop the inland city as a tourism hotspot. Sport is playing a major role in this with Marrakech now hosting a WTA tournament to go with established World Touring Car Championship, Formula Two and Auto GP races.
Marrakech comprises an old fortified city packed with vendors and their stalls (the medina), bordered by modern neighborhoods, the most prominent of which is Gueliz. Today it is one of the busiest cities in Africa and serves as a major economic centre and tourist destination.
Marrakech has the largest traditional Berber market in Morocco, with some 18 souks selling wares ranging from traditional Berber carpets to modern consumer electronics. Crafts employ a significant percentage of the population, who primarily sell their products to tourists.
