Jamaa El Fna is a must in Marrakech with every stay. This huge site includes many shops and full of surprises.
It includes :
Acrobats :
You can admire many "artists" including acrobats and jugglers. A crowd gathers around a group marrakchis and tourists near and discover a small troupe of acrobats composed of young and old men. And yes mostly men, this activity is reserved for them. For some, an acrobat is a family affair. The father is the carrier and his son climb it in turns to form a pyramid. Children are lighter and more adept at getting to the top of the human pyramid.
