In Jemaa el Fna -'the 'big square'- in Marrakech, to the sound of prayer calls from the Koutoubia mosque, local men in pointed djellabas congregate to tell stories among the snake charmers and performing monkeys. The air is filled with intoxicating smells from the exotic food stalls and the spice souks.
The locals are more than happy to chaperone you through the maze of unnamed streets for a few pennies.
Jemaa el Fna, Marrkech Centre - just ask for 'the big square'.
