Jamaa El Fna

The sights, the sounds, the smells, the energy… It’s hard to describe the feeling of entering the main square of Marrakech after the sun goes down. Entertainers surround you and encourage you to get a photo with them (for a price), snake charmers sit cross legged playing tunes while a crowd surrounds them, men walking around with monkeys on leashes, orange juice vendors call out across the square, food vendors hustle tourists and locals alike as they walk through the rows of stalls. Everyone vying for your attention and a bit of your money…

(Unfortunately the photos during the night didn’t turn out so well but here is a few of the main square not quite at its busiest)
