Itinerary

1
Begin your adventure at Jemaa el-Fnaa square where you'll meet your knowledgeable local guide and receive a brief introduction to Moroccan food culture and market etiquette.
2
We begin the tour like Moroccans do during Ramadan, breaking the fast with a comforting bowl of Harira soup and sweet Chbakia pastries. A delicious and meaningful way to start our food adventure.
3
Try different types of freshly made Msemen, Morocco’s famous flaky pancakes, stuffed with vegetables, aromatic Moroccan spices, and the traditional preserved meat Khlii. A delicious mix of crispy texture and rich local flavors.
4
My personal favorite dish on the tour. This Moroccan-style shakshouka is cooked with kefta meatballs, tomatoes, eggs, and spices in a sizzling pan.
5
Walk through the colorful olive market and learn the difference between a souk and a bazaar while tasting different olives and Moroccan pickles.
6
Watch Moroccan donuts being fried right in front of you. Sfenj is the classic evening snack that families gather around with a glass of mint tea.
7
For curious food lovers, try a famous Moroccan delicacy: sheep’s head. A true local experience that most visitors would never try alone.
8
Taste delicious Moroccan barbecue or shawarma cooked over charcoal. Vegetarian options are available.
9
Even if you feel full, you’ll still find space for one of the best smoothies in Marrakech made with fresh seasonal fruits.
10
End the tour with traditional Moroccan pastries and Khoudanjal herbal tea, a warm drink locals love after a big meal.
