South of Bahia Palace is the historic home of Marrakesh’s Jewish community. Most Jewish families moved away in the 1960s, but the mellah remains notable for tall mudbrick homes along single-file streets and cross-alley gossip through wrought-iron mellah balconies. Local guides may usher you into the local synagogue , and the miaâra , or Jewish cemetery, where the gatekeeper admits visitors paying respects to whitewashed tombs topped with rocks for remembrance (Dh10 tip expected).
