The historic Jewish quarter at the south of the medina, the oldest in Morocco. Spice traders, the Lazama Synagogue, and a daily-life market that locals shop ahead of the touristy Rahba Kedima.

The Mellah is Marrakech's historic Jewish quarter at the south of the medina, the oldest in Morocco. Spice traders and the Lazama Synagogue anchor it, and its daily-life market is where locals shop before tourists find the Rahba Kedima. Come for the spice trade at its least performed.

We have not yet tagged places to Mellah itself, so here are the ones close by. The rest are in the Marrakech food guide and the neighbourhood index.
