Experience Jemaa el-Fnaa after dark

The great square at the heart of the medina is the beating soul of Marrakech, and it transforms as the sun goes down. By day it's a busy open space, but each evening it erupts into a sensory carnival: dozens of food stalls firing up grills, musicians and drummers, storytellers, henna artists, and crowds of locals and visitors alike. It's free to soak up, and the energy is electric. Eat at the stalls, watch from a rooftop café terrace overlooking the chaos, and simply take it all in. We'll point you to the best vantage points and the food stalls worth seeking out.
