Travel photo: Jemaa El Fna, Marrakesh.
Unesco declared Djemaa El Fna a 'Masterpiece of World Heritage' in 2001 for bringing urban legends and oral history to life nightly, and although the storytellers who once performed here have since given way to communal games, musical performers, and slapstick comedy acts, Djemaa's nightly carnival continues to dazzle. Amazigh musicians strike.Many years ago the great playwright Peter Shaffer described his enchantment with the drama of this square as evening falls into night: the snake charmers, story-tellers, acrobats, water seller, musici.No visit to Marrakech is complete without experiencing the Jema al Fna. Open air barbecue. At night the atmosphere intensifies and the northern end of the Jema al Fna becomes a vast open air barbecue with rows of dozens of food stall competing for trade. Their hygiene standards can be criticised but the ambience is truly unique. A more.
It’s a place where there’s something to see and do from morning to night. By day, snake charmers and henna ladies dot the square and scout for customers. As evening falls, the stalls are busy, the musicians attracting large crowds and children playing various games. Welcome to Jemaa El-Fnaa!This is the numerically marked restaurant market of Jemaa El Fna square that trundles in daily around 5pm then dispands into the night as if never there around midnight. A site in itself is awing at the process of empty square to bustling food centre in a very short period of time, which can be looked upon from one of the surrounding rooftop cafes.
Stroll through the heart of the famous Jemaa El Fna and capture the essence of the Marrakchi soul. The vital historic center of the city and an iconic local square, located in the south-west part of the Medina, is filled with market vendors, snake charmers and fresh orange juice merchants.
