Must-see
Jemaa el-Fnaa, the open square that has anchored Marrakech's medina since the 11th century. UNESCO inscribed it for Intangible Heritage in 2008. Walk in free at any hour. By evening, over 100 food stalls, Gnawa musicians, and storytellers fill the space with woodfire smoke and the clatter of qraqeb castanets.

The city's signature is tanjia, beef slow-cooked 7 hours in hammam ashes. Breakfast is msemen flatbread from street carts at 2 MAD. Friday means couscous at noon.
