Djemaa el-Fna is the main square of the Marrakech Medina and the most famous market place in Morocco.

It is here that you will find snake charmers, dancers and musicians, potions and bush remedies and carnival type side shows – anything from miniature golf to boxing.

When I arrived I thought much it was all put on for tourists, but after wandering around I found many of the attractions are attended only by Moroccans.

If you look and linger just a fraction too long (say about one second) at any attraction, the man will suck you into his sideshow then try and extract an extortionate amount of Dirhams out of you. Don’t even think of trying to take a picture withiut paying for it.
