Jamaa Alfna Square (Amazigh: ⴰⴱⴰⵔⴰⵣ ⵏ ⵊⴰⵎⵄ ⵍⴼⵏⴰ, Arabic: ساحة جامع الفنا, "Place of the Mosque of the Departed") is a famous public square in the southwest of the Medina. na from Marrakech in Morocco. This traditional, popular and lively mecca, especially at night, attracts more than a million visitors each year. Jemaa el-Fna embodies the diversity of Moroccan identity due to the presence of representatives of the different cultures that make up Morocco: Arabs, Berbers, Gnaouas1. “The cultural space of the Jemaa el-Fna square” has been listed as intangible cultural heritage since 2008 (proclamation in 2001) and as world heritage since 1985 by Unesco2.
A first mosque was built in 1148 by Sultan Almohade Abdelmoumen after conquering Marrakech. He will rebuild a second version of similar size around 1158. This is the current version, the first having been demolished. Abu Yusuf Ben Tachafin will finalize the construction of the minaret around 11953. The Koutoubia is considered an important example of Almohad architecture and the architecture of Moroccan mosques in general3. The 77-meter minaret is decorated with different geometric patterns and topped with a spire and metal orbs. It probably inspired other buildings such as the Giralda in Seville and the Hassan Tower in Rabat, which were built soon after at the same time4,5,6,7. The minaret is also considered an urban landmark and an important symbol of Marrakech.
The medina of Marrakech is a Moroccan medina, the historic heart of Marrakech. It forms one of the five districts that make up the urban municipality of Marrakech. We take a tour of the old medina, Cartier of the Jews

The tour guide was very friendly and informative, we had a great time. The journey didn’t feel that long. Got plenty of time to go around the markets as well and took u to a nice place for lunch
thank you so much
The guide spoke excellent English and everything ran smoothly. You had the choice to go into Marrakech independently and I did. The guide is pleasant on the bus and occasionally checks how everyone is doing. Top day!
thank you so much
A highly recommended excursion; going to Marrakech is always a good option. The guide was very attentive; the only thing is that they could offer the option to translate into Spanish.
thank you so much
Great trip to the Marrakesh. Great to see the market with the tour guide as otherwise you can get lost easily
thank you so much
The trip was managed well with guide speaking in four languages. Overall they took us to Marrakesh in air conditioned coach and then in Marrakesh guide took us to mosque, old houses and market. After that we went to restaurant had some free time and then trip back to Agadir. Great service
thank you so much
Long drive from Agadir, but worth it. Our guide Abdul was very good, although it would be nice not to run so fast thru Medina and other places. On the other hand during free time we could visit these again at own pace. The only drawback was a tourist-trap restaurant to which we were taken (mediocre food quality), it would be nice if it was announced ahead that we do not need to eat there. Overall - good experience!
thank you so much
Went on my own but was really fun and safe, they picked us up from our individual hotels and I had a wonderful time and learnt a lot!
thank you Aruba
It was a hot day in marakesh, but we enjoyed the time there. We were impressed about the souk market. Our guide was a nice man and well experienced.
thank you so much you are welcome again
We didn't get much free time to shop although we were told we would get one hour. The dinner was exactly the same food as the lunch, which was disappointing. The guide was excellent though, speaking in 3 languages and very knowledgeable.
thank you
Good driver. Stop at service station for WC and optional refreshments on the way there and back. Poor toilet facilities with no running water on the way to Marrakech. The tour guide Abdullah, gave quite sketchy information in 3 languages. The group was in excess of 30 ( nearer 40). He did well to keep us altogether but far too many people to be wandering through the medina and souk. In addition the outside of Koutubia Mosque was visited. We were disappointed not to be able to visit Bahia Palace. It was given as an option after lunch with some guidance how to find it. Got there at 14:45 to find it was closing due to the opening hours being 9 - 3 throughout the month of Ramadan. We are astounded that the guide did not know that as we were near to the end of Ramadan. It should therefore have been offered as the first stop when we arrived. Would have preferred to have chosen our own lunch stop rather than the guides choice as the food was uninspiring.
thank you for your review
