Jemaa el-Fna is a square situated next to the Koutoubia mosque in Marrakesh.
One of the highest tourist draws in Morocco, more than a million visitors per year come to assist to the shows hosted by monkey trainers, snake charmers, storytellers, musicians and many other popular artists (Challenges, Games, "Henna" Drawing...) from early evening ( 3.00 PM ) until the dawn prayer ( 5.00 AM ).
"The Cultural Space of Jemaa el-Fna" is since 2001 a word heritage according to UNESCO.
So if you are visiting Marrakesh , you definitively have to visit Jemaa el-fna, you'll love it.
