Marrakech Spice Market Kitten

If the Djemaa el Fna is the epicentre of Marrakech, the Rahba Lakdima—otherwise known as the Place des Épices, or Spice Traders Square—is surely the epicentre of the medina itself. Bursting with rambunctious energy and high-voltage colour, the market is lined on one side by mysterious herbalists and spice traders selling everything from snakeskins to rose petals to ras el hanout (the famous Moroccan spice blend), and by carpet sellers on the other.And in the middle, heaps of woven baskets and woollen skullcaps are piled high.
