Description:

Embark on an evening of exotic scents, flavors, and vibrant Moroccan colors as the legendary marketplace of Djemaa El-Fna comes to life. Wander through souks, sample mouthwatering dishes, admire snake charmers doing their mystical work, and savor a traditional Moroccan meal.

Meet your guide at UNESCO-listed Djemaa El-Fna square and listen to the history of this cultural hub, which dates back to the 12th century. Venture off the regular tourist trail to explore hidden shops, where your savory introduction to the delicacies of Morocco begins.

Savor locally cultivated olives, dried fruits, and different types of nuts and pastries. From there, step into a fragrant spice shop—as you hover over heaps of saffron, cumin, ginger, and turmeric, the producers and vendors offer tips and suggestions for cooking with each flavorful infusion.

Wander among traditional souks where you can find leather goods, handmade carpets, and sweet pastries, heady with dates and honey. Your tour ends with a traditional dinner at the center of the square. As you dine, take in the vibrant spectacle that surrounds you—snakes dancing before their charmers, mischievous monkeys, wandering magicians, and intriguing storytellers all add their magic to this lively plaza.
