There are a few meanings thrown up in Wikipedia of Djemaa El Fna, and my favourite is 'the mosque at the end of the world'. It might also mean 'assembly of the dead", which is pretty cool but maybe not the stuff for the post-watershed family dinner. "Darlings, there's a fabulous place to eat at the,,,oh"

It is fabulous though, and by the evening, the orange juice stalls, the dancers and the snake charmers give way to the cooking fires, the storytellers, magicians and apothecaries. This is the medina, the old part of the city, and as darkness descends, the noise increases, the smoke thickens and the magic really starts to work.
