Souk Semmarine

Main covered souk of Marrakech medina

Souk Semmarine is the main artery of the Marrakech medina markets, running from Jemaa el-Fnaa north toward the Ben Youssef Mosque. Covered with a reed-and-wood canopy, it follows the medieval city plan and feeds dozens of smaller specialist souks — Nejjarine for woodwork, Haddadine for ironwork, Chouari for basketry, Rahba Kedima for apothecary stalls.
