Djemaa el Fna square Djemaa el Fna square, Now on UNESCOs World Heritage list, the square hums and pulsates with mystery, magic, and possibility. By day, one feasts eyes and more on succulent dates, the freshest orange juice, alchemists, acrobats, plier-wielding dentists. At sunset, the carnival atmosphere comes alive, with food vendors setting up scrumptious specialties, while dancers, fortune-tellers, musicians, and snake charmers and take over the rest of the space.
Here you will find listed a series of sights you can visit.
Jma-l-Fna The Jma el Fna is where it all happens: snake charmers, acrobats, story tellers, small restaurants, fresh orange juice. It changes during the day, from a juice and nut selling area with additional entertainment in the morning to a more tourist oriented "side show" in the afternoon. It then becomes full of food stalls and entertainment for the evening and night.
Jma-l-Fna is great for a morning orange juice, an afternoon stroll or a dinner at night. It's a genuine 5* attraction at night & it's not done especially for tourists, most of it is 100% for Moroccans, by Moroccans. Avoid the sheep's head stew & head for the little sausages with the dynamite chili sauce (you have to ask for the sauce). Mostly for meat-eaters but there are excellent salads so veggies certainly won't starve--the spicy aubergine (egg plant) is fantastic.
One warning: the snakes and the bears are less dangerous than pickpockets.
Bahia Palace This was the mansion of Si Ahmed ben Moussa, the vizier of Moulay Hassan. It was built as late as 1894. After his death in 1900 the palace was sacked. You can get guided tours to the palace.
Saadian Tombs A unique example of Moroccan Saadian architecture. Very elaborately decorated rooms harbour tombs of saadian Sultans. Nice garden as well. There is a small passage way, in order to get in without setting foot inside of the Mosque.
Medersa Ben Youssef North from the Jma-l-Fna, a good walk through the souqs, is the Medersa Ben Youssef. Its not easy to miss, because its the biggest building in the neighborhood. It is the best example of Merinid architecture in Marrakesh.
Criee Berbere A small square just north of the Jma-l-Fna. Has lots of shops where they sell the stuff magig is done with. dead lizards and the likes. You can also find carpets here, they are sold in a small auction here at the end of the afternoon. It is not a cheap place to get your carpets. In earlier days slaves were sold in a quite identical manner.
Dar Si Said Museum with Moroccan artefacts. Address: Riad Ez-Zaitoun El Jadid, Tel. (212 4) 44 24 64 Marrakesh.
Bert Flint Museum Collection of a Dutch man living in Marrakech. It is in the Rue de la Bahia.
Majorelle Museum The studio of French painter Jacques Majorelle is now a museum.
The tanneries I don't recommend this for everyone & I'm not sure I'd especially want to go there again for some time, if ever. But, for an experience of a life so different from our own & to assail your jaded traveller's senses with sights & smells of an intensity (mostly the smells!)which you won't forget in a hurry, just go!
Avoid being shaken down for lots of money by the "guides" & do not enter the kilim & handicraft showrooms unless you can be very assertive or you really do want something. I bought a kilim (well, two actually...it seemed like a good deal at the time) and I really like it but I've no real idea if it was great value for money, though I did end up paying approx 40% of the original asking price which is about right for haggling, don't you think? The smell of that place came back to me several times over the next couple of days. I've never experienced anything quite as intense. It was the pidgeon guano they used for softening the leather. They give you sprigs of mint to take the edge off it but for real connoiseurs just take shallow breaths & go for it! Enjoy! Address: Bab Debbagh, a gate in the East side of the city wall Opening Hours: All day, give or take.
Yves St. Laurent Garden Majorelle Gardens are a must. This beautifully layed out garden was designed by The Yves St. Laurent himself. It is decorated with bright colors and VERY blue pots and vases.
