Jemaa el-Fna is a stage like no other. Every evening the square fills with distinct groups of performers — Gnaoua musicians, storytellers, acrobats, henna artists and food vendors — that together form one of the world’s great living spectacles, listed by UNESCO.
Who you will meet
Gnaoua and Berber musicians with hypnotic rhythms, the hlaiqi storytellers, dancers, herbalists and fortune tellers, plus the famous open-air food stalls at night. Each group has its own corner of the square and its own tradition.
Experience it with a guide
A local guide turns the crowd and noise into a story you can follow — safely and without the hassle of touts. Join the square at night or a medina walking tour, and read the full Jemaa el-Fna guide before you go.
