Itinerary
1. Destination of all magic, Jamaâ El Fna square tells through its storytellers, dancers, water sellers and snake charmers, the history of Morocco yesterday and today while subjugating its visitors by its charm that starts in the morning and still only reaches its peak in the evening
2. Charming Riad Zitoun Jdid has a number of bistros with rooftop terraces, serving mint tea and European food with Moroccan twists. Riad hotels, in grand former homes with inner courtyards, sit alongside traditional hammams and shops selling pottery, kaftans and leather bags. The 19th-century Bahia Palace has intricately decorated interiors and walled gardens, while Dar Si Siad Museum shows crafts and Berber jewelry.
3. The narrow alleys of Mellah were once home to the city's Jewish population, as seen in landmarks like the Lazama Synagogue, with its tiled courtyard and exhibits on Jewish life, and the tranquil Miaara Jewish cemetery. Nearby are the lively Mellah Market, with meat and produce, and Bab Mellah Spice Souk.
4. Located in the so called Mechoui Alley behind The Alhambra restaurant in Jemaa el-Fnaa is his unmissable stand adorned with sheep’s heads and ‘Tangia’ crock pots. The meat-pot meals are cooked in the ashes of the coals from the local bathhouse. Most come during the day for the succulent Mechoui but the beef pots are served all day and are every bit as delicious. The juices that pool at the bottom of the bowl are a treat with the local bread
5. Considered the main artery of the souks of the Medina, Souk Semmarine is accessible from Place Jemaa El Fna, in a derb (alley in the medina) bearing the same name. A name he holds from the farriers who once occupied this strategic place to shoe the animals of the caravanners, while the latter did their usual shopping.
