One of the surprises that your trip to Marrakech, riding a Morocco, is the great atmosphere that exists at dusk in the Jemaa El Fna square.
Surely you will have discovered this great square during your daytime tourist trip, but the visit will be incomplete if you do not visit it at night.
The advice is that when evening begins to fall you have to return to this great nerve center of the Medina and from the city of Marrakech.
You will see how, starting in mid-afternoon, a great maelstrom occurs on the esplanade in front of the main entrance of the Souk.
All the information in detail
Food bars in Marrakech
The cars arrive with the metal structures of the food stalls which, after being quickly installed, will soon populate the square.
From that moment on, this area is filled with people who come to dinner.
Is chiringuitos similar to those we will find in the markets that are held every week in numerous cities and towns in Spain.
I warn you that it is not a visit to everyone's taste, but although it is a very touristy place, it is undoubtedly still a reflection of the traditional lifestyle of a country like Morocco.
Walking among these Jemaa El Fna beach bars You will be surrounded by the great smoke coming from the mobile kitchens, and you will also be continually “assaulted” by the “hooks” who insistently invite you to dine in one of them.
If you would like to cheap dinner in Marrakech, this is a good option, although not open to “suspicious” stomachs.
Typical Moroccan food dishes
In most beach bars you find the typical Moroccan cuisine, such as the harira, tagines (or tayin), couscous (or couscous) and Moorish skewers.
But you will find stalls that specialize in serving certain foods, such as where you only eat lamb.
And for dessert, along with the typical tea with mint which is taken at any time in Morocco, you can taste the delicious Moroccan sweets and chabakiya.
If you have a sweet tooth, I can tell you that you are going to become a fan of these delicious (also somewhat gooey) sweets.
A dinner in one of these beach bars Jemaa El Fna square in Marrakech It can cost you about 80-90 DH (about 8 euros) per person.
In short, a must-see experience if you want to experience the most popular Marrakech.
Photos Jemaa El Fna square
Here are more photos of this popular square at sunset, when it has a great atmosphere.
Dining at a beach bar in Jemaa el fna Square IS NOT RECOMMENDED at all. We were a group of 6 people and we felt harassed to the limit, not letting us pass, fighting among themselves, they called us dirty, being a group of 6 we ended up dispersed so it became endless to be able to get together, in the end we were overwhelmed to number 25 (they have numbers although they are all the same) and they even applauded us, they gave us typical food from a Moroccan family, little, bad and without any hygiene but well that's how it is, but we paid 1.250 dirgan, that's cheap at all. I write this not to harm you, I understand that it is touristy and they make a living from it, but don't treat us like this, we felt truly overwhelmed and we had just landed, the first image was terrible and they are the ones who have the most to lose.
We have become addicted to Chabakias, the sweet desserts of Morocco. We have been to Marrakech, Essaouira and Ouzoud, but we have been wanting to see the desert to see if we can do it in 2016. We hire everything online with http://www.excursionesdesdemarrakech.es a complete success. We will return for sure.
We have just returned from a trip to Marrakech, we loved the city and of course we did not miss a night of dinner in the Plaza, also relatively close you have Essaouira and the Desert, we did them with Marrakech Low Cost, a local company at a very good price price. I recommend it to you. http://www.marrakechlowcost.com
To have a good dinner in Marrakech, I recommend stall 14 in the square, yes, you have to eat with your hands. My wife and I were there in the month of February and I highly recommend that you visit Marrakech. The “Argana” restaurant in the square has very good food but is expensive.
