Place Djemaa el-Fna ساحة جامع الفناء

Marrakech ⵎⵕⵕⴰⴽⵛ مراكش, Morocco

Place Djemaa el-Fna ساحة جامع الفناء

The highlight of any Marrakech night. Musicians, dancers, and story tellers pack this square at the heart of the medina, filling it with a cacophony of drum beats and excited shouts. Scores of stalls sell a wide array of Moroccan fare (see the Eat section) and you will almost certainly be accosted b

y women wanting to give you a henna tattoo. Enjoy the various shows, but be prepared to give some dirhams to watch. By day it is largely filled with snake charmers and people with monkeys, as well as some of the more common stalls.
