At the heart of Marrakesh, between the souks and Koutoubia mosque, Djemaa el Fna has centuries of history as the meeting place for regional farmers and tradesman. Through the glowing lamps and smoke one may find everything from jugglers to teeth pullers, fortune tellers, snake charmers and fresh squeezed juice.
