The city's small lanes previously housed the city's Jewish community, as evidenced by buildings such as the Lazama Synagogue, which has a tiled courtyard and exhibitions on Jewish life, and the peaceful Miaara Jewish cemetery. The bustling Mellah Market, which sells meat and fruit, and the Bab Mellah Spice Souk are also nearby you can learn about herbs and spices if you like when you visit an herbelist . The area is dotted with European-style cafes, Moroccan restaurants, offering grilled meats and tajines.

Slat Al Azama Synagogue
Salat al-azamat, like other synagogues built in Morocco, is located in the Mellah and was built around 1492 to serve the Jewish community. It was erected around a central courtyard, and it was a model of traditional architecture. It was only recently renovated: an erzat nachim (women's gallery) was added to the eastern wall, and the typically moveable wooden arch was replaced by a marble arch bordering the eastern wall.

Miaara Jewish Cemetery
The Jewish cemetery of Miaara, which is located in the Mellah neighborhood, bears witness to Marrakesh's long history as a Jewish community. This large space, which is more than 500 years old, has graves with a basic appearance and varying sizes, dated from several centuries to a few years. On the left, a slew of anonymous graves bear witness to the epidemics that ravaged the city, necessitating hasty burials.
