One-minute guides
City
of drama
Its spectacular setting against the snow-capped High Atlas
Mountains lingers long in the minds of most travellers, and the
famous Djemaa el-Fna square provides perhaps the greatest
open-air spectacle in the world. [Lonely Planet]
Medieval magnificence
The Kutubiyya mosque is among the greatest examples of Islamic architecture in
North Africa [arab.net]
The
other Morocco
Fire-eaters, snake charmers ... and pickpockets. [LexicOrient]
Exhausting
and hyperactive
A spicy
mixture of Arab, African and European influences. Crowded,
chaotic, noisy, smelly, dirty, but enchanting. [Hip Guide]

Journey to the heart of Morocco
Marrakech’s famous square, Djema al-Fna, is the subject of this short film which won
a silver award at the Houston International Film Festival in 1995. You can take a look at
some video clips (a
snake charmer in action and a ride through the streets) or still photos
of life in the
square. You can also order
the film itself.
