Description
One of the major attractions in Marrakech is Place Jemaa el Fna, the Meeting Place Of The Dead. The name of the rectangular square refers to it's former role as a place of public executions, where the heads of the unfortunate victims were put on display.
Today it's magical attraction is the bustling nature, vitality, and excitement of the activities taking place there, especially in the evenings. In late afternoon as the square begins to fill with life, it transforms into an open-air arena for entertainers of all kinds, musicians, jugglers, snake charmers, acrobats, storytellers, fortune tellers, and the air is filled with the smell of cooking from the many food stalls and restaurants.
