What to expect

Ready for a real taste of Marrakech? Let's eat! We begin in the legendary Djemaa El-Fna square, the vibrant heart of the medina where trade, food, and daily life have unfolded for centuries. After a quick introduction, dive into the maze of souks and experience the city through its flavours.

Stroll past bustling market stalls and stop to taste local olives and traditional Moroccan pastries, while gaining insight into how locals shop and bargain. Along the way, your guide will point out key ingredients and explain the role food plays in Moroccan culture and history. Enjoy a comforting bowl of harira served with dates and chebakia—an iconic combination—before stopping for a sweet treat like sfenj or msemen, paired with refreshing mint tea.

Your experience ends back in Djemaa El-Fna, where the square comes alive after dark. Take a seat among the lively food stalls and enjoy a traditional dinner, choosing between a flavourful tangia or a vegetarian tagine. Surrounded by the sights, sounds, and aromas of the medina, it's the perfect way to end your evening.
