It looks overwhelming at first, but it's easy to navigate. Restaurants with terraces, and shops line the square, and in the evenings, food vendors set up selling fruit juices, all kinds of traditional dishes, and pretty much anything else you can think of. There's entertainment in the form of games, musicians, snake charmers, and monkeys, the later 2 of which I don't endorse. But overall it's a great place to spend the evening and people watch.

Before visiting I read quite a bit about the city and the the Medina, and I was quite surprised to find out that some of the negative stuff I read were actually worst then expected. The square is filled with scammers, they place items on you (sunglasses, belts, bracelets,...) and almost force you to buy it, if you refuse they become very rude and aggressive. And not even mentioning the prices which are ridiculously high! Animal cruelty is very much present is several places, monkeys on chains being dragged around and hit, snakes being tossed around like a piece of trash, and donkeys very thin dragging massive loads bleeding from the belts around their faces and chest. It is to mention as well that you're basically not allowed to take pictures, unless doing so very fast or discrete, otherwise the locals become very enraged and start following you and shouting. All of this takes away all the joy of walking around the Medina and the city overall. Which is a shame! Because the culture and the architecture are nice to see.

Good experience, although not as majestic as it looks in pictures. Went in the day and it felt safe. The night was busy and full of entertainment but didn't feel as safe. However, I'm a single mum with 2 kids and I felt safe enough. Just be firm when sellers are pressuring you! We had food in a restaurant on the square with lanterns on the roof terrace. It was really clean and professional and food and drinks were fabulous. The sunset from the roof terrace over the market was stunning! Cantvrwmember the name of it but it's hard to miss with its glowing terrace.

Visited here in November, 2018. This square is always crowded, and from around the dusk, it gets more and more exciting and hectic. What I tried here is sheep brain's cuisine, fried squid and eggplant paste. I knew all were the local special dishes, so that's why I chose these cuisines. As for squid and eggplant stuff, they were pretty tasty and I did love them as I had expected. And about sheep's brain, it turned out that the brain was simply delicious !! It might be partially thanks to a good seasoning, but I am sure everyone likes this taste though its appearance is kind of ugly. Whenever I visit a place like this square or somewhere for tourists, I see lots of restaurants or food stalls with similar design, similar atmosphere, similar menus and prices there. Really feel this phenomenon worldwide is so curious.

One of the craziest square I have been to. You’ll see snake charmers, monkeys, street boxing, dancers, a couple dozens of horses and horse carts, aggressive henna artists, juice stalls, and everything under the sun. I like that they still maintain this square as authentic as it can be. Vendors could be aggressive, but definitely one of the best experience in Morocco!

We were a group of 10 friends walking around the square at night time and it was a busy place full of People. It was a charming and unique open space to walk around and see monkeys, snakes and storytellers. Highly recommended to visit at night time! You will travel to another time....

The busiest square in Africa, it's bustling, it's loud and it's very chaotic. Should you go here? Yes, but just to experience it once. See how it changes from the afternoon to the evening. There's all sorts of stuff you can buy in the market. It's the perfect spot for people watching. My biggest issue with this place is that it's extremely annoying, you can't walk around and just enjoy the location. You're bombarded with human vultures trying to get you to eat at their stall and physically stopping you to speak to you and potentially scam you. There are people literally shouting at you to buy stuff, Barbary apes in chains being forced to take photos with tourists and they're obviously mistreated. Horses having to deal with the scorching heat as they carry tourists around on carriages and snake charmers who will pester you for money. As soon as you take your phone out to take a picture of anything, you're expected to pay money, unless you find a rooftop bar. The atmosphere is insane but be aware of this, your time here could turn into a nightmare if you're not careful.

Ths place is still crowded and full of life even in pandemic. Sad to see the shops close and turn off their lights at 9pm because of curfew (but you can visit early or at daytime..)

Don't go there restaurant no.55 in the square. Never!! Actually I didn't want to eat, but owner begged me that there were no customers whole day, so he asked me buy some skewer. He told me 10 DH per skewer and I ordered 5 for help him. He said he would give some vegetables and sausages as a bonus(that time I had already eaten dinner, so I gave most of the food to the cat). But when I had paid, another person came and asked me for 200 DH. Salad is 75 DH, sausage is 50 DH, bread and tax are 25 DH... Maybe it's because I'm a foreigner. That owner should be ashamed. It's been great in Marrakech so far, but I'm really disappointed today.

A special and authentic market! Local stalls of food, shoes, bags, jewelry, clothes and spices. Everything from everything. Good Prices per pocket. A real experience

During the day it's a big town square and then in the evening it transforms into an exciting food market and hub of activity making for a heady smorgasbord of dancing monkeys, fortune tellers, snake charmers, Berber musicians singing and dancing, exotic food and artisans. i found myself heading to the Jamaa every evening during my stay in Marrakesh. Loved the snail soup, Tangia and pistachio candy. Got myself some lovely Morroccan lamps.

History is marvelous. The Jewish quarters. All the sights are well kept

The reason for 3 stars is that the people are over friendly. They are desperate I do understand but us tourists need some space and want to explore. We had bbq and fruit juice. Very very tastey.

Big touristic Square with lots of local products and artists. There are numbered sections with fish, meat and fruit where you can eat very fresh and delicious food very cheap. Be aware that looking like a tourist people are all over you to get them into their food place or buy products. Always friendly but can be too much sometimes.

Mind blowing market. Streets with lots of things to but everywhere. Very colorful and very busy at all times. During the day is just a bazar, but in the evening everything transforms in a big place with hundreds of mini restaurants where they serve everything from chicken to fish, lamb and beef.

𝙳𝚓𝚎𝚖𝚊𝚊 𝚎𝚕 𝙵𝚗𝚊, 𝙼𝚘𝚛𝚘𝚌𝚌𝚘 The world's most exciting town square, Djemaa el Fna reminds you you're in Africa. In the heart of the old city of Marrakech, snake-charmers, henna-painters, storytellers, date-sellers and orange juice vendors set up their stalls in the sleepy heat of the afternoon. As night falls, the vendors are joined by tribal drummers, ladyboy dancers and mobile restaurateurs selling delicious grilled meats, bread and salad as the smoke rises above their stalls 'til past midnight.

This is an old traditional trade & fun zone. Large gathering of locals and foreign visitors. The number of eating places and shops are countless. We visited walking on foot from our guest house that was near the square. So it was just a bit confusing to get there with the streets so busy. But quiet the place to get anything you need out of Morocco.

This square felt like the beating heart of the Medina. Day and night were as different as...well.....day and night. Yes, you had the stalls and a daily hustle and bustle but as the sunset (around 6:35pm) the food stalls selling hot food belched their white smoke into the air which was caught but the many bright beams of light that kept the square illuminated.

It’s a great place to visit the markets of Marrakesh (from their leather products and traditional tea pots and ceramic products to clothes and food; you will find everything here) and it’s close to some historic sites like. As the sun starts to set, the center gets full of people showcasing their talents and food trucks so it gets really crowded and hot.

It was a very unique experience to actually learn about the process of making leather garments and bags. The prices were negotiable for most items. Upon entry, we were given mint leaves as a distraction for the foul odor from the mixture to condition the leather.

I love this square is amazing unique and the whole country. It looks very ancient. The Moroccan people are lovely and caring. I being there a few times and I have even stay there before for a few moths and I love it. It’s a really good place to make businesses. Definitely I highly recommended.

A big open square with a lot of entertainment and food options. There are several restaurants with terraces around the square. We went to L’ancient cafe to see the sunset from there, it was not crowded, just a perfect view of the square. Avoid the people with the snakes and monkeys, that is animal cruelty. There were a few groups with nice music.

Plenty of souks selling all kinds of things from food to lamps also with services such as henna and monkeys or snakes to take pictures with. They all will give you the highest price and you have to negotiate to a reasonable price you're willing to pay. The orange juice all is fresh squeezed it's delicious. There are plenty of people trying to sell watches, glasses and all types of nonsense, most times you'll tell them no and they'll continue to persist just ignore them till they go away. Don't believe anyone that says anything is free, it isn't.

Jemaa el Fna is definitively an evening experience if you are after a little kind of " exotism " . Day attractions are just a tourist trap or at least a simple curiosity . Avoid the monkey and snake exhibitions . These animals are not well treated and should be left in their environment where they belong . There's no particular skill to show living creatures the way they are presented . It's not worth it . You should rather visit the souk around , this is the heart of the site where local craftwork deserves your attention . While bargening is a tradition in the souk , you should remain fair to the sellers . This is their living resource after all ( covid was there too , they didn't get much support during this period ) . In the evening ( starting around 7 pm ) do not hesitate to have food there , despite the appearences it is ok .

Check for set number 97 and look for Hicham (visited several times without collateral damages 😉).

A one of a kind place to visit. During day time it's mostly fresh juice stands and some touristic stuff serounded by roof-top type cafes. At night a while different story with musician and many food stands, local vibes and vendors that can get really intense.

Great for bargain hunters. It's busy, chaotic and hits all your senses. Grab some street food, souvenirs and fresh juice. Keep your wits about you - it's easy to get lost, but the market is one of a kind!

One has to be on guard in this place at night. Crazy scene with a helter skelter snake charmers, monkey handlers, food hawkers, pickpockets and all kind of people walking around or selling one thing or another all while drummers drumming, jujuka blowing. This can be daunting and mesmerizing at the same time.

This is a very famous plaza. There are tons of motocyclists, so you need to watch out and stay on your right. People are nice, but vendors are very sticky. If you are not interested in something, don't spend much time looking at it, or you will be insisted on buying. Make sure you ask for a better price because bargaining is something they truly enjoy. There are several good restaurants. Choose one with a rooftop to get great views of the plaza and the vendors with cobras and monkeys.

I didn’t buy ticket 🎫 as it’s an open space or market where you get to buy food, fruits, clothes, spices, soap, local women plait hair, fix nails, henna, play games and the lists are endless. I visited twice, during the day and at night and I must say it was so beautiful and busy at night. I recommend if you’re planning to visit, ensure you use carry a Fanny pack or a cross body bag, there was no issue of theft but it’s safer when you look out for your things so you don’t loose them… Visit at night, you’d love it too. Haggle prices if you want to buy things from them, even if the prices are “fixed”, you may be able to get better bargains that way.

Amazing place to see the Moroccan culture , You can buy everything you want at that outside market , Is no way that you visiting Morocco 🇲🇦 and Marrakech and you not visiting the Medina market…

Ich war zum zweiten Mal auf dem aufregendsten Platz in der marokkanischen Stadt Marrakesch. Wer diesen Platz nicht besucht, hat das größte Freiluftrestaurant des Landes verpasst. Unzählige Händler und Köche laden zum Verweilen ein. Der Platz ist vor allem am Abend ein unvergessenes Erlebnis - viele Lichter werfen sich über den Platz. Es ist alles bunt und verzaubert, von Cafés aus, die einen Blick auf den Platz bieten, kann man das Gedränge beobachten. Es gibt auch viele Künstler, die wirklich schöne und vor allem erschwingliche Bilder anbieten. Nicht ganz so begeistert war ich von jenen Leuten, die mit angeketteten Affen ihr Geschäft machen. Fazit: Unbedingt besuchen - ein Erlebnis, das es so nur in Marokko gibt.

Very beautiful place when it’s not very hot. You must visit this place.

Went during Corona in August 2021. What a brilliant location, walking distance from Bahia Palace. Most stalls were open This place is an absolute maze filled with leather, household items, clothes, food stalls, juice stalls, fake handbags, trainers, caps, fake everything! So many different places to go and buy things. What a lovely place this is. Very big you can get lost. *top tip* do NOT go with a tour guide who is on the street, he will take you to his friends stall and try to rip you off. He will also try charging you an extortionate price for showing you around and you will be better off yourself. You feel obliged to buy, but it's your money never feel guilty for any of them. For those who have never experienced these stalls, never ever buy at asking price, Ever. Always negotiate and pay what you feel is worth it, learn some Arabic phrases, the locals love it. The stalls are all busy including the food / drinks. You will get very pushy people coming up to you. Catchphrases to avoid, HEY BROTHER, EXCUSE ME HENNA!! RUN AWAY WHEN YOU HEAR THESE Phases!!! Never say 'maybe later' either as if you go back they will bombard you. *another top tip* you can buy sunglasses cheaper off the guys who come up to you in the square with their boards.They will try to sell it for 150MAD but you can get it for 40MAD, that's equivalent to around £3.40 UK price for some quality replica Ray Bans. Overall experience though wasn't as friendly as Agadir Souk El Had, in Marrakech it just felt as though they all try to rip you off. I got local prices after a few days and realised how bad these lot actually were. Very very annoying. It was also disappointing there were no shows etc that everyone says happens due to Corona. If anyone has any questions, please ask!

It's like a maze. you are always lost but you will love it any way..... There's a lot of things you can add about a Moroccan people!!!

Extremely bustling, lively area with food and juice stalls in the middle and around the square. Food is delicious and cheap as chips. Amazing atmosphere and lots of locals eating and enjoying the delicacies such as snails and sheep's head, if that's for you. Keep your bags in front of you as pickpockets operate in the area. Must not miss the experience of jamaa el fna square.

It’s crazy how this square becomes so alive when it gets dark. There are traditional music and dances, different items sold. I would recommend to try the foods of the mobile food Stalls that mysteriously appears when it’s nighttime. Many people might call your attentions, wanting you to spend money. I find it sad that also animals are involved in this, most specially the Monkeys who are intelligent beings even capable of having emotions.

This square is full of live, and there nice things to eat. but there are also monkeys in dresses with a chain 😓 and lots very annoying sellers. Nice to have a a quick peek, than leave quickly!

Fun place with a variety of souks and performers. But watch out. Some vendors in the square have cheap China merchandise and snake/monkey performers want money for pictures. Got chased by one before I understood the custom and paid. Souks are legit but good negotiators...walk away if you don't get your price and they usually follow you and drop their drawers.

Great experience, busy place. You can get get really good deals -bargain is a must!😃 a lot of nice leather stuff. Try their spicy tea - stand number 72! But watch out for being tricked - the food stands especially

I found myself in the heart of Marrakech, right by the central market, and let me tell you, it was nothing short of enchanting. The whole area was a riot of colors, with narrow alleyways beckoning to be explored. Eating stalls lined the streets, tempting me with the most incredible smells—I'm talking about savory tagines, sizzling kebabs, the whole Moroccan culinary symphony. And oh, the juice stalls! Sure, the prices were a bit up there, but the fresh blends of citrus and exotic fruits were an absolute treat. It was the perfect pick-me-up amid the hustle and bustle. What I loved the most was the energy of the place. It was like stepping into a different world, with locals haggling for treasures and artisans showcasing their crafts. Every corner held a new surprise, a new experience waiting to unfold. As the day slowly gave way to evening, I made my way to the central market just in time for the sunset. Trust me, it was a showstopper. The sky transformed into a canvas of warm colors, casting this mesmerizing glow over the market. I couldn't help but stand there, taking it all in—Marrakech at its most magical. Sure, prices were a bit on the higher side, but for me, the whole experience was worth every dirham. The downtown district near the central market isn't just a place; it's a feeling, a sensory journey that stays with you. If you want a taste of Marrakech's soul, this is the place to be.

Very enjoyable visit to this unique Moroccan square with many vendors of all things food, textiles, souvenirs, and Cobras. Go up to the top of rooftop restaurants to view many different activities in a relaxed manner.

The local is really amazing, very peculiar, sometimes mesmerizing. A unique image of a way of trading that has thousands of years of history. Just take care, don't stop all the time, so you won't get approached by the merchants too much. It is also really worth walking through the streets near the square, to actually know the place!

I eventually plucked up the courage to visit the square after avoiding it due to my intense phobia of snakes. I was happy to not have seen a single snake despite even looking for them from a distance. This gave me the confidence to explore the rest of the square without fear. It turned out to be really pleasant and I admire and totally respect the people of Morocco for their talent and amazing culture on show here. Thank you for the beautiful experience which will stay with me always.

A busy place. It's hot during the day but there are shops in the shade tugged behind narrow alleyways . We came here both in the afternoon and evening. I would say the evening experience was more enjoyable as that was cooler and the lights and the addition of food vendors amplified the open air market experience.

So this square is unique in many ways, the transformation it makes through every day is incredible. At morning, it's quite no one s there, then through the day and evening more shops, stalls and restaurants open up. The food is great but the same at all the different stalls, and a bit overpriced tbh, for the juice stalls goes the same. the evening stories from the berber people seem to be very nice and a massive cultural thing. But then the people who exploit snakes and monkeys for their own financial benefit should not even be allowed if you'd ask me.

Eclectic amazing experience but better after sunset when it gets rammed with people watching performers, dancing and music. Food stalls abound and the atmosphere is enjoyable and exciting. Well worth a visit.

We found Jemaa El-Fnaa a great place to visit. Locally referred to as the main square or main market, it is best to visit in the evenings. We went in the beginning of November and we found this to be a great time to visit, the mornings are nice and cool, daytime reached mid to high 20s and evening is warm to cool, but not so cold that you need a jumper if you are from the UK. The market although open from morning, is est to visit from late afternoon onwards, it comes to life in the evening. The busy hustle and bustle of he market is a great atmosphere. There is plenty to see and lots of things to buy if you are in mood for some shopping. Plenty of food places , street performers including local traditional dances, snake charmers, monkey trainers, horse carriage rides and others. The traders will say a higher price if you are tourist, don't be out off , they expect you to haggle down :) and they do so without being pushy, in fact if the price is not agreeable you can simply walk away and say thank you, many time they will shout a cheaper price once you have walked away to draw you back. Always haggle. The Koutoubia mosque is right next to the market, it was closed for repairs, once done it should be open. Most restaurants you can walk into at this time of year they won't be that busy, there rooftop restaurants dotted all over the, those you might need to book a table for as they overlook the market, a great evening view. The outdoor market is surrounded by streets and alleys that are overflowing with shop keepers and their wares. We went without the kids but we can see that it is safe enough to visit with kids, just be mindful of the busy maze like streets and also the scooters that zip past you as you're walking, other than that it's great. Friendly place, friendly people, good food, good value items for shopping.

Utterly bonkers market, even more ridiculous at night. You will be hassled at just about every store/pitch, especially if you show the slightest bit of interest in their wares. The place to go if you want to eat sheep's head. Many bargains to be had, particularly from the vendors with no store or pitch that are selling from a blanket on the floor. Prepare to haggle. The sights, sounds, smells and overall experience is 'a must' in Marrakech.

Very lively place. Be careful of pick pockets. Went with my husband, and we enjoyed the hustle and bustle. Can get a lot of items for cheap.

Such an interesting place, well worth a visit. Hundreds of stalls, guys with monkeys and snake charmers galore! We've never been anywhere quite like it.

One of the busiest squares in the world. Moroccan life and culture in all its variety can be experienced here. A must experience in Marakkesh. This North Africa at its best. Stalls and stalls of Moroccan food comes alive from sunset. For those who are more formal , restaurants surround the square on all sides. Village artisans peddle their wares leather, pottery , paintings , spices and handicrafts in the square. Friday nights are special with hundreds of nomadic performers entertaining small groups. The square is alive with snake charmers, monkey shows, jazz singers, stilt walkers, apply henna on your hands. On onside you have a line horse carriage one can engage for stroll through the city. Be ready to negotiate the price before doing anything including taking photographs.

It’s an open space. Interesting to explore and you can see a lot people selling the street food and juices. Also you see a lot of snake charmer with cobra and at night you can enjoy the street musicians. Just be careful with your stuff, bag, wallet, etc if you’re walking in this area.

Tagsüber ruhig und nachts wimmelt es vor Menschen. Muss man gesehen habe. Achtung Taschendiebe sind unterwegs. Bei photographieren sollte man beachten, dass die Gaugler dann Geld dafür wollen.

The huge, vibrant, wild, crazy bustling main square of the old medina of Marrakech with snake charmers, aggressive henna ladies, wandering minstrals, snake-oil salesmen, hustlers, juice stalls, and all life forms. After dark, the square transforms with dozens of food stalls whose waiter are even more aggressive than the henna ladies, thus putting off more timid customers from frequenting them. Nothing looks vegetarian anyway, what with the sheep's heads on display. The vibe is that of a festival / fun fayre / circus. Sit on one of rooftop terraces ringing the square to watch the show.

On the one hand, it is the busiest, lively, bustling, loud and crowded square in Morocco. There is everything, there is magic, there is music, there is an atmosphere that you will not find anywhere. On the other hand, everything is too rough, the locals know how to work with tourists, demand money for every photo, nag, harass. The magic of the place can sometimes be a nightmare for others. It is worth visiting during the day, at noon and in the evening, every hour the place changes, develops, there are a million alleys that come out of the square and every alley with surprises

Walking through Jemma el-Fnaa is an amazing experience every time I do it. Both the daytime and nighttime atmosphere is incredible with the square filled with performers, artists, henna women, snake charmers, juice sellers, music, and an ever changing crowd. There is nothing that fully captures the magic of this place.

Live the souks and all the hustle bustle of this place. It's about getting lost in the souks and the squarr comes alive at night. If you are worried about the earthquake the suffered this month then don't. There isn't a single sign of distruction anywhere. The earthquake was quite way from the media. The Media have really blown it out of proportion. So many tourists have restrained from booking marakech and the economy is suffering as a consequence. I have been to marakech many many times so I have a good view of what is normal. We even took a trip to Ourika Valley went quad bike and did lots more. Feel confident in booking a trip to marakech.

This square is a must visit place if you come to Marrakech. People is really friendly, sometimes a bit intense while trying to sell you food, but always with manners. The difference between the day and night is huge. Also in love with juices they instantly make.

The place becomes alive after dark. Can be a annoying at times because of hustlers trying to get you to buy. Otherwise nice place to chill and di some holiday shopping.

Beautiful tourist attraction.

This city (Marrakech) is home to a thriving medina, amazing shopping, and gorgeous architecture

An amazing affordable place, very clean, and has great welcoming atmosphere. The manager snd staffs are very helpful and kind. I would definitely recommend.

A very beautiful place.

Not bad place

Good place

The most exhilarating place I have ever been to. The noise level is amazing. Lots of coffee shops and restaurants most overlooking the market. Freshly squeezed oranges to drink everywhere. It's huge and takes a few days to explore. Be prepared to bargain for goods..all polite and in good humour.. loved every minute.

Awesome

Nice place

Nice place to hangout.

Nice❤️

Good place

Very crowded but a very nice and old fashioned shopping center to buy basically anything !

Beautiful stop away from the noise of the city. Look for the pomegranate juice seller in the garden. Not to be beat at 10DNR.

First time in Marrakech im glad to be there

Lots of shops very touristic place one could get souvenirs for back home.

What a fantastic place, 😍 Very nice also by night and delicious street food. Inside the market shop, very nice gifts to buy. One negative point, the circulation of the motocycliste inside the small street, you should be careful, the authorities should avoid this.

Very good well worth a visit

Great place with all the sights sounds and smells your senses can possibly take in. There's amazing tajin to be had at shared communal tables, stay for tea. There's leather goods locally sourced, as well as incense and spices from the region. Fresh squeezed mixed juice by the pint is a must to keep you energized to keep walking and exploring mysterious and magical Marrakech

Great atmosphere during the night with heaps of food stands offering cheap, authentic food and juices. Beware of pickpockets.

This place is quite the experience. It is busy, you get asked to buy all kinds of things and the skill of haggling is very useful. But overall it is amazing! It showcases a beautiful part of the Moroccan culture and craftsmanship. (I do recommend going here with someone if you are a woman, it will make the experience much more enjoyable)

This is a must! It is a bit crowded and you have to be careful with the motorcycles but it is nice to look around

I've been there almost every single day the last two weeks. Amazing place, even with Ramadan, after 9 - 10 pm, it's another world, full of music and locals enjoying the nightlife. Ideal to see the sunset, it's a good idea arrive before 6 pm to get the bests spots on the rooftops.

This is pretty much a traditional markets area. It is huge! Hundreds of independent stalls with typical merchandise you would expect to see. You Must bargain as they have all first price points at 3 to 4 times actual value. For example a price point of 800 after negotiations and walking away and being followed was purchased for 35. It is a sort of pedestrian area, but watch out for the throngs of motorcycles cutting through the narrow pathways. Don't be surprised to be pushed out of the way by a passing toctoc type of thing either. Credit cards will do you no good at stalls, but are accepted at some of the eating establishment's. There are a couple of currency exchange locations with horrible rates, and several bank type atm machines throughout. I have no idea on the surcharge fees, use wisely! I have to say I am glad I experienced it, as it's what the tourist thinks of when they think Marakesh, but was delighted to get back to my air conditioned transportation at the end.

Busy spot, lots of tourists and locals. Plenty of hussel and bussel.

Amazing place for tourists

Colourful, full of sounds, music, and odours. A magical place to explore and enjoy at least once in your life. That's my 2nd visit...and I think I will be back for more.

What a place!! If you are a keen traveler and are in Morocco, definitely a place to check out in Marrakesh. Felt like a scene out of a movie. So much going on, so many sounds, flavors in the air from the food stalls. Watch out for your pockets and some charlatans preying on unsuspecting tourists though! The best time to experience (and people watch) is the hour leading up to sunset to dusk. Try to secure a place in one of the restaurant/balconies overlooking the square. It does get crowded everywhere. If you want to purchase anything, keep cash im hand (but away from eyes). One of the best opportunities to buy souvenirs or merchandise on your Morocco trip (from trinkets to spices to dresses to rugs). Be bold and bargain! (Safe to assume everyone will quote you double). There are a couple of ATMs in the market. You will likely get overwhelmed at first but be sure to know your entry/exit alley.

Get lost in the kaos!! Such a beautiful place, if you can get a guide for an evening tour around the parts of the markets you would never find by yourself, definitely do it. It is the heart of marrakech with so much going on. We were told it closes at 7pm but it doesn't, the market comes alive from 8pm onwards (early hours, but wouldn't recommend staying until that time)

Such a lovely bubbling place, full of colour, food, shops, attractions, etc. If in Marrakech its a place that must be visited day or night

A must visit place in Marakkesh.You can see all kinds of acts … vendors etc.Be careful with the bags and wallet …sometimes it so crowded.
