For those who like to watch movies despite of being in a foreign language that you actually don’t understand, you should visit the Mabruka cinema in the Avenue du Prince in Marrakech, just one of the main pedestrian streets coming out of Jemaa el-Fnaa.

Watching a movie in Marrakech is so fun as people speak a lot during the movie, they scream to the screen, advise actors not to do something, etc. A whole new world as it lives by the experience of doing something relatively “underground” while being in Marrakech.
Usually movies at Cinema Mabrouka are Indian from Bollywood or Arab films from Egypt. Price starts at 25 Dirhams until 15 Dirhams depending the place you want to sit. Very interesting is that some couples come to the movies (in the upper balconies) to make out since no one can see them in the dark.
