A very old house/palace which houses a collection of local arts, especially berber. It only costs 10MAD and is really interesting and gives you a good perspective on the local arts and crafts. The opening hours are a bit qwirky so check first. You can go into the outdoor courtyards as well as the rooms.

The Jemma-El_Fna is a square in Marrakech that comes alive at night. As dusk falls, the sounds, smells and sights hit you all at once. It is an amazing place to see and experience. Food is cokked in front of you, snake charmers and acrobats perform for you. Its a once in a lifetime experience.
