The heart of the city without a doubt. The Jemaa El Fna only really comes to life after dusk, when 100 nightly vendors set up for the evening eating market. A good deal of very healthy competition ensues having so many mini-restaurants so close, with every stall employed a few hustlers to get you to their stall, foreigners being prime, as they expect us to spend spend spend. They have two or three dedicated harira soup places, that specializes in the traditional garlic, tomato, and chickpea soup, served hot for 3 dirhams. For the adventurous, snail soup is offered by a few places by the juice sellers. We had some very very good salted grilled aubergine, a bizarre spinach dish, more flatbreads, and salade Maroccaine for about 2 dollars. The night market was pretty much one of my favourite parts of Marrakech.
