To understand the heart of Marrakech, the most important place to visit is Jemaa el-Fnaa. It’s as brazen as it is beautiful, as intoxicating as it is sobering. In the evenings, you’ll find as many locals as tourists, navigating a bustling labyrinth that’s home to more than 3,000 merchant stalls shilling everything from carpets to spices. An evening spent here can admittedly cause sensory overload, but it’s also an experience guaranteed to make you feel more alive than ever.
