About The food stalls of Jemaa el-Fna
Every evening the open space of Jemaa el-Fna fills with food stalls, alongside the storytellers, musicians and performers that led UNESCO to inscribe the square’s cultural space on its Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity (2008).
Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with The food stalls of Jemaa el-Fna before you go.
