Review & FAQ:
Jemaa el Fna is an enormous city square and market place which has been a symbol of Marrakesh since it was established sometime between the 11th and 14th centuries. Today the square enjoys UNESCO World Heritage Site recognition and you can step back in time and imbibe the age-old cultural traditions of Morocco as practiced by storytellers, musicians, and performers. You can admire the beautiful minaret of the Koutoubia Mosque, which towers over the square, watch a snake charmer, enjoy mint tea at one of the many garden terraces that surround the square, or lose yourself in the Marrakesh souk or the myriad cobbled streets that wander through the medina (old town). As the sun sets the square is filled with food vendors offering an authentic taste of Morocco.
