The main attraction in Marrakesh is Djema al Fna Square, which has food vendors of all sorts (Andrew Zimmerman from Bizarre Foods did a show here; they have boiled sheep's head, all kinds of organ dishes, and lots of snails. ML and I disgusted Luke by opting for the snails - a little briny, but not half bad...), snake charmers, monkey handlers, musicians, hustlers, extortionists (demanding 100 Dirhams for a picture with him and a snake - this Gringo didn't pay). There is also a nice maze of markets to one side of the square.
Unlike the rest of the Arab world, the jalabia in Morocco has a hood. Therefore in brown, it looks very much like a Jedi cloak. So of course we bought the boys their own, and had them tailored that same night in the souq. In the background you can see the full assortment of goatskin slippers, the preferred Moroccan footwear (though real Moroccan men only wear yellow ones).
Enjoying some juice with some of the local men at Djema al Fina Square.
