Jemaa El-Fna by night
Jemaa El-Fna during the day it is predominantly occupied by orange juice stalls, youths with chained
Barbary apes, water sellers in colourful costumes with traditional leather water-bags and brass cups, and snake charmers who will pose for photographs for tourists.
As the day progresses, the entertainment on offer changes: the snake charmers depart, and late in the day the square becomes more crowded, with
Chleuh dancing-boys (it would be against custom for girls to provide such entertainment), story-tellers (telling their tales in
Berber or
Arabic, to an audience of appreciative locals), magicians, and peddlers of traditional medicines. As darkness falls, the square fills with dozens of food-stalls as the number of people on the square peaks.
