Wander amongst the tooth-pullers, snake charmers, water-sellers, storytellers and scribes during the afternoon; at night the square transforms to a festival atmosphere when a myriad of food stalls are wheeled in from the alleyways; their tables and benches illuminated by lamplight and wreathed in the smoke of one hundred Berber Barbeques
• Colourful Labyrinthine Souks e.g. the metal souk where proud artisans craft objects as their forefathers did centuries before them; the dyers souk where colourful skeins of wool hang drying in the sunlight; the carpet souk where hand-crafted Moroccan rugs hang like exquisite paintings; the jewellery souk where windows glitter with gold

Combine the two imperial cities of Marrakech and Fes. Marrakech, a bustling town with its tourists, souks, medina, palaces, gardens and the Djemaa el Fna.
