Djemaa el Fna

　　Djemaa el Fna Square is both a public square and a market, and the liveliest spot in Marrakech. It’s famous not only for its beautiful appearance but primarily for its vibrant day and night life. During the day, the square is packed with acrobats, monkey trainers, snake charmers, and more. In the afternoon, it fills with strollers, magicians, dancers, and musicians.

　　By evening, it transforms into a sea of people, especially with the influx of vendors—some selling trinkets, some selling fruit—but most notably, the square becomes crowded with countless aromatic food stalls offering grilled delicacies. The food stands turn the square into an extraordinarily lively open-air restaurant, serving a dazzling array of Moroccan cuisine year-round, rain or shine. Among the most famous snacks on Djemaa el Fna are a soup similar to hot and sour soup that is not spicy at all but rather tangy, as well as fried pastries filled with syrup. When you visit, be sure to try these treats and indulge in their delightful flavors.
