Hi, we're trying to find the address/email for Sammy (does professional massage) or of the apothecary/herbalist shop he works at in the Medina bout 5mins walk from the Square. It sells spices/perfumes/medicines/tea & also offers massage (including by students - so perhaps it has a school attached??).
The shop has a desk on the ground floor, and then you go upstairs to a large open room to find jars of spices etc. where they also offer massage. Because it has an upstairs floor and was quite spacious compared to most apothecaries, I thought this was quite unusual/distinctive for the Medina so was hoping you may possibly know which place we're talking about?
Bit of a long shot, but if you know the name/address and preferably email address of this place or Sammy, would you mind forwarding please? : )
Think you may be talking about Moul Ksour Herbalist

Nice man speaks excellent english, when we were over in November 2006 every time we walked pasted his shop he seemed to be outside.
Would be pleased to hear if this is the info you wanted.

Hi Jan, thanks so much for your reply! Sorry I've not logged in since February and just got a reminder from Virtual Tourist today and thought I'd just take a quick look and there was your message. We'll try the email and see what we find and I'll let you know, many thanks : )
When you are a really poor bargainer , you will
get loads of gifts. ;-) We got plenty.
In the picture you can see some sort of rasp.
It is used to remove the hardened areas of
skin of your feet. It is made of baked clay.
For your information ,
I don't need it.
I got baby feet ,

When I got off the train in Tangier, I decided to take the taxi to the port. Because I was travel alone so I talked to the taxi driver and I had to wait until he had got five more passengers. Finally, our taxi had five men, a woman and a taxi driver. The taxi was over loaded. For one thing, I asked the driver how much money before I got into the taxi. I paid only 10Dh. It is fair. It takes around 10 mins from the train station to the port.
Jamaa el Fna place is an extrordinary place to visit, especially in the evening and after 6 pm; it's a gathering place for open shows, from sneaks, music, dentists to food....
You can eat there, shop and enjoy the shows
Here are my top places to see in Marrakech in order:
Jamaa Fna (walking evening and night)
Souks (market place) selling carpets copper traditional clothes.....(walking)
Merassa Ben Youssef (in the souks) (walking)
Palace el bahia (walking)
Menara ( get a taxi or horse carriage)
Jardin Mojorelle ( get a taxi)
Bab Agnou (Incident Door to thr Medina, city) (walking)
saadine tombs near Bab agnou (walking)
get a map don't cover all the attraction at once. I will describe each place in a near future.
These guys are around the Djamaa El Fna Square and sell ice cold water to their customers. I was a bit sceptical so did not try it, not so sure the water was pure. If you do not buy water, you have to pay to take their photo. Told you these guys are sharks.
I planned to stay on the square two nights at the beginning of my trip and two at the end. Due to travel complications I only got the two at the beginning. What a good excuse to return.
You don't need to plan things to do around the square, they just happen.
Wander, smell, browse, listen, look, sit, buy, eat, drink, laugh, look in amazement, taste, gaze.
It all happens around the square.
