Our Marrakech food tour takes you into the medina in the evening, when the smoke rises from the grills of Jemaa el-Fna. A local food guide leads your private group to the stalls and small snack stands that families from Marrakech use, away from the tourist traps. It is a great first night in the city and a highlight of our 7-day Morocco food tour. It also fits well before or after the 3-day Marrakech to Merzouga desert tour or the luxury Marrakech, Agafay and Atlas tour.
You walk at an easy pace and taste many small dishes, so come hungry. To learn more about Moroccan food, read our guide to cooking classes in Morocco or plan your week with our 7-day Morocco itinerary. Discover more Morocco adventure activities or build a tailor-made trip around food.
