Jamaa el Fna Square in 2 min (Cinematic Video)
Jamaa el Fna Square is the heart of the ancient city of #Marrakech. It is a large square, just a few meters from the Koutoubia Mosque and represents the entrance of the medina, with its maze of narrow streets and many shops.
There are several hypotheses about the origin of the name and can mean the place where the condemned ajusticiaban simply a meeting place, or refer to a mosque that should stand in the same location.
For me this place is like a giant outdoor stage where everything happens and it changes throughout the day. In the morning is calm, there is only one fruit stands and isolated snake charmer. But if one is a tourist with the camera is lost, once you hang a snake around his neck without you realizing you already have painted henna entire arm.
Best to go in the evening, as the show is guaranteed and of course there are chances that you can share with other tourists. Looking around we are surrounded by snake charmers, monkey tamers, dancers, storytellers, acrobats and water vendors with its characteristic red suit and hat with bells. The sound of drums indicated the approaching sunset and suddenly, almost from scratch, start to appear numerous bars that are mounted in the blink of an eye and they offer everything and between cooking smoke, the smell of spices and the sound of drums, the visitor feels intoxicated by the magic of the place.
Around the square there are numerous cafes and restaurants where you can have an aerial view of the assembly, Another tourist attraction is to cross from the enclosure of the #Koutoubia Mosque to the street leading to the square, cross a single street where traffic never stops and continuously passing cars, carriages, motorcycles, bikes and any kind of vehicle , you have to throw, daring and go.
In fact I have ever seen kids who make few dirhams to help the tourists to cross. Throughout this cultural and human performance, in 2001 the Jamaa el Fna was named a World Heritage Site by #UNESCO.

Look like a great square! It's unfortunate that I cannot open your video.
The snakes are very huge and look scary. I'm afraid of snakes and they can frighten me if I stand there.
Thanks so much for sharing. ;)
