Detailed itinerary

Stop 1
As the sun sets over Marrakech, the city transforms into a vibrant open-air dining experience. This immersive street food tour is your gateway to the flavors and aromas that define Moroccan cuisine. Led by a knowledgeable local guide, you’ll explore the atmospheric alleys and hidden food corners of the old medina.
The journey begins in Jemaa el Fna, the city's iconic square, where storytellers, musicians, and food vendors create a spectacle every evening. From there, your guide leads you through a carefully picked tasting route.

Stop 2
The first food stop is Lady Fatima’s kitchen. She’s been cooking Harira soup for more than ten years, and locals line up for it. It’s filling, slightly spicy, and rich with lentils, chickpeas, and herbs, simple but very popular by locals.
3
Next, you’ll head to the former Jewish quarter, the Mellah, to visit a sfenj stand run by the same family for four generations. As you enjoy this warm, crispy doughnut, you may catch the owner still preparing the batter by hand, just as his great-grandfather did. You’ll also learn the ritual behind Morocco’s signature mint tea.
4
Stop 4
From there, your guide takes you behind the scenes of Marrakech’s most iconic dish: Tangia. You’ll visit a traditional oven where lamb is slow-cooked in clay pots for hours in the ashes of a hammam, a method still used today by locals living in the medina.
The streets narrow, and the aromas intensify - a heady mix of grilled meat, cumin, and woodsmoke. Your next tasting features charcoal-grilled kefta at a beloved stall that’s been in operation for over 30 years.

Stop 5
And finally, you’ll sit down for the ultimate local recommendation: tangia lamb, served in Lamine’s restaurant, a cook once chosen to prepare lamb for the King. His dishes sell out early, but your place is guaranteed.
