Overview

Marrakech food as we enjoy it

After living in Marrakech since 2011, we've developed our own favorite evening food stops. This private tour shares that routine through an unhurried walk around Jemaa el-Fna and the surrounding medina, combining familiar local flavors with the stories behind them.

Savory msemen and mint tea

Soup, dates and chebakia

Moroccan olive tasting

Tangia and vegetarian specialty

Pastries and fresh juice

Begin with savory msemen

Taste an evening version of msemen with onion, herbs and spices alongside Moroccan mint tea.

Soup and smaller tastings

Enjoy traditional Moroccan soup with dates and chebakia, learn about their connection to Ramadan, then sample Moroccan olives.

Tangia and something sweet

Sit down for Marrakech tangia and a specially arranged vegetarian dish, then select traditional Moroccan pastries.

Finish above or near the square

Enjoy fresh juice while taking in Jemaa el-Fna's evening atmosphere, from a rooftop when available or during the final walk.
