This was one of our best experiences whilst in Marrakech. Just wandering around listening to the different sales pitches, trying to entice you in was an experience. Every taste was catered for, ranging from the safer options to the more unusual and the smells and noise really did hit the senses. If you wanted to mix with the locals this is where they came at night to socialise so as you mention it was a great way to experience Moroccan life.
