This market square is inescapable, and why would you want to? There's so much going on here it's almost overwhelming when you first go, but head back and you'll be rewarded with some great food and drink, and if you can tuck yourself away in a cafe the people-watching is second to none!

No trip to Marrakech is complete without a trip here, the heart of the city where people gather to perform, sell, meet, eat and drink. A great place to get some hearty food for a great price, just don't expect veggie options to be completely meat free, seems to be the Moroccan way to add just a little goat or chicken 'for flavour'!

Some tourists I spoke to were unsure about going here by night but it's the most exciting time to go. Fires and lights change the whole atmopsphere, and musicians, circus performers and entertainers are really amazing. Definitely try it!

This is a lovely bit of the souk to stop in and watch the people for a bit. Although some of the shops are clearly for tourists there is plenty of local trade too so see where they go and get lunch there! Lovely colors abound so be sure to take your camera!

A short walk from Jemaa el-Fna, to the north east
