Shopping and Lunch in Marrakech

We went shopping just after breakfast this morning, at Ensemble Artisanal, where items are marked with a price - no negotiating. We bought a few things then crossed the street to Cyber Jardin, a large public garden. We walked down the street to Koutoubia Mosque and gardens. There is some earthquake damage at the mosque, so it is fenced off from visitors and repairs are being made. We walked through the souk toTerrasses des Arts for lunch on the rooftop. Lunch was delicious - Michelin worthy! We had a siesta in the afternoon, then walked to Jemaa el-Fnaa, just before sunset. Jemaa el-Fnaa is the gathering spot, landmark square of Marrakech, where food stalls, juice bars, performers, and thousands of locals and tourists gather every evening for a big party.
