In the medina of Marrakech, you'll find plenty of souks (markets). What is a main city square by day is transformed at night into an open-air feast of food stalls, snake charmers, tarot card readers, and performers. If you're feeling adventurous, you can sample the traditional sheep's head. For the more conservative palate, tuck into brochettes or assorted fish, tagines, fried aubergine, and couscous dishes.

Where to Eat:
The night market at Jemaa el Fna offers hundreds of stalls serving all kinds of Moroccan dishes at communal tables.

How Much:
A bowl of harira soup may cost around 10 Moroccan dirhams ($1.10) and a vegetarian tagine around 30 Moroccan dirhams ($3.30).
