Rahba Kedima, Historic square in medina, Marrakesh, Morocco.
Rahba Kedima is a square in the medina of Marrakesh where traditional craft stalls and shops stand closely together. Spices, textiles, and handmade goods are sold here by local vendors.
The square arose in medieval times as a key trading point where merchants from across North Africa met. This role as a central trading hub continues today.
The square's name comes from the ancient walls surrounding it, and it reflects the daily life of the medina. Artisans and merchants here follow practices passed down through generations.
You can reach the square on foot through the medina's narrow streets, with early morning and late afternoon being the best times to explore. The pathways are tight and can get crowded during peak times.
The square is especially known for its spice vendors displaying colorful mounds of saffron, cumin, and other fragrant ingredients. The aromas are intense and shape the experience the moment you enter.
