Derb Dabachi: a doctor a stone’s throw from Jemaa el-Fna

Derb Dabachi runs east from Jemaa el-Fna through a string of shops, cafés and small hotels. The crowds stay thick until late, and scooters weave between pedestrians. Above the shops and in the neighbouring dead ends live families, and many tourists stay here. The doctor’s car stops at the edge of the square or in an accessible street; the rest is on foot. We are often called here in the evening, when a traveller comes back feverish from a day of sightseeing.
