Lonely Planet review for Mellah

The mellah, situated south of Bahia Palace, is the historic home to most of Marrakesh’s Jewish community. Only a few Jewish families remain in these narrow derbs (alleys) – most moved to Casablanca, Israel or France in the 1950s – but you can still spot Star of David symbols proudly emblazoned on old doors, and witness cross-alley gossip in progress through wrought-iron mellah balconies.
