Djemaa el-Fna
This famous square is a UNESCO world heritage site, and the vibrant heart of Marrakech - a bustling area for trade, commerce and leisure. On any given day you'll discover snake-charmers, healers, acrobats and more. Stalls sell spices, jewellery and ceramics, and come evening the smell of grilled meat, spices and vegetables circle the square tempting all who pass. Other, less appetising foods on sale can include snails, and even sheep's heads. Certainly, this colourful square will entice all. Be sure to haggle to get the best deals.

Non-Muslims are not permitted inside, but a visit here is recommended even so, for the ornate design and the pleasant surrounding area.
