Djem el Fna: The Great Square of Marrakesh

Excerpt from A’s email “Tales from the Moroccan road”, sent August 23rd:

Im currently in Marrakesh, the city of the Djemaa el-Fna square... one of the most magical and primal spectacles Ive ever witnesed in my life. Every single night a crowd in the tens of thousands congregates in the gigantic square, to be entertained by the jugglers, storytellers, snake charmers, musicans (the drummers are spectacular), and open-air food stalls galore. The marketplaces are pulsing with energy and always an adventure to explore.

I’ve already tried to describe this place in words (last paragraph), but let me allow the pictures to do it justice.
