Marrakesch ( Jemaa el-Fnaa )
The Jemaa el-Fnaa is Marrakech’s most significant component of the medina, as well as the major plaza. Over the course of the day and night, locals and visitors alike congregate in this area to partake in activities like as shopping, eating, and watching the many performances that are going place.
What we like most about this faboulous square, is how it transforms from dawn to dusk?
During the day
During the day, the area is filled with a variety of unexpected sights, including snake charmers, monkey trainers who have taught the monkeys to climb all over visitors, and dentists who reveal the teeth that they have just taken from their patients.
In addition, there are a great number of stalls in Jemaa el-Fnaa that offer snails, orange juice, spices, and mint leaves.
At night
At sunset, the main square of Marrakech undergoes a transformation, and the stalls that were there in the morning are removed to make place for food stands. These food booths provide guests the opportunity to have supper while being surrounded by Moroccan artists performing traditional music and other acts.
In the event that you do not have any supper arrangements in advance, the cuisine that is available at these stalls is quite excellent and very Cheap.
Marrakech’s top attraction
Jemaa el-Fna is the most popular tourist destination in the city, and it is open for visitors at any time of the day. It is even recommended that you go there first thing in the morning and then come back at night to observe how it has changed for the better. It is also a lot of fun to watch the many programs that it has. Marrakech’s central plaza is never boring, that much is certain.
Additionally, the area is brimming with Bars & Restaurants , and stores selling souvenirs. We suggest that you locate a seat on one of the roofs, place an order for a drink that costs 10 dh (one dollar in US currency), and then observe the activity that is taking on in the plaza from a distance.
