The Heart of Marrakech

Jemaa el-Fna is the famous main square in the middle of the old city of Marrakech. It’s full of life—during the day you’ll see orange juice stalls, henna artists, street performers, and musicians. As the sun sets, the square transforms into an open-air food market with delicious Moroccan dishes, smoky grills, and sweet treats.

Around the square, you’ll find snake charmers, storytellers, and local artists sharing their talents. The sound of drums and laughter fills the air, and the smell of spices invites you to explore. It’s a place where locals and visitors mix, where old traditions come alive every evening.

Surrounded by cafés with rooftop terraces, Jemaa el-Fna is the perfect place to sit, sip mint tea, and watch the lively scene below. Whether you’re visiting for the food, the fun, or just the atmosphere, this square is the soul of Marrakech—noisy, colorful, and unforgettable.
