A visit to Jemaa El Fna Square is a must during your stay at Riad Hermès: an iconic, authentic experience you simply have to live. The very soul of Marrakech, this legendary square is recognised by UNESCO as part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
Why visit Jemaa El Fna Square?
A true open-air theatre, Jemaa El Fna Square has an inimitable atmosphere where traditional storytellers, Gnawa musicians, snake charmers, acrobats and street vendors all mingle. It offers visitors a unique, lively spectacle from morning until night.
What is there to do in Jemaa El Fna Square?
By day, take the opportunity to try fresh orange juice, browse the dried fruit stalls and meet local artisans selling their original creations. As evening falls, the square is transformed into a gigantic open-air restaurant, where food stalls invite you to taste Moroccan specialities such as tagine, grilled meats and pastilla.
Be sure to enjoy a mint tea on one of the surrounding terraces, which offer breathtaking views over this living spectacle.
A few practical tips
For an enjoyable experience, remember to always haggle over the prices quoted – it is common practice and well received. Please also respect the performers by asking their permission before taking photos, a small courtesy that is greatly appreciated.
