Things you hear in Marrakech’s Jemaa el Fna at night
If you’ve visited Marrakech you’re bound to have spent some time walking around the Jemaa el fna at night and during the day. Jemaa el Fna is Marrakech’s main square and is well worth a wonder. If you’re looking for some more alternative things to do in Marrakech.
When the sun begins to set people from all areas of Marrakech flock to Jemaa el fna.
Metal bars are transformed into bustling street food stalls, smoke fills the air as chicken, snails and other foods are cooked in the open air. Pipes charm snakes, guitars and men begin singing and women call out “hello, henna” every time you walk past.
Jemaa el fna becomes a pretty crazy place at night and if you’re walking around this maze of orange juice stands and street food stalls you’ll hear a lot of crazy lines from the vendors trying to get you to eat at their stools.

Haha sounds fun! I’ve heard similar things in India too, makes you wonder where they get some of them from
I know! especially the names of the shops!
Seems like the place I’d enjoy a lot – with lots of food and craze of a night market – this is exactly what I love when travelling, I never skip a market if there’s one and I absolutely love night markets.
Me too! Markets are my favourite
These calls crack me up! I’ve heard similar in Turkey and Thailand but some of these were new to me. I am SO wanting to go to Marrakech, it just looks enchanting!
It’s definitely a pretty unique place!
I’m *immediately* skeptical of somebody that has to promise I won’t get diarrhea from their restaurant. Looks super lively though, exactly what I picture when I think of a place like Marrakech. Hope you had fun!
I know right? makes you wonder how many people claim to have got it for them to have to say you won’t..
Been there. Not only the noise but the smell and general buzz was pretty overwhelming. Anyway, I’d do it again anytime. Take me back!! 😀
It’s a crazy place isn’t it!
I’d love to Marrakesh and the cries of the street vendors just made my list of ‘reasons to go’ – hilarious! (and a terrible sign of what they think we want to hear..)
Haha – I particularly liked the no diarrhea guarantee..
