Itinerary
We will stop in Riad zitoun el kdim to taste the Moroccan SEFANJ. Sfanj is Moroccan pastry. It is made with dough, shaped into rings, and then fried in hot oil until it takes on a golden color. Moroccans grow accustomed to sfenj starting in early childhood either in the morning before school starts or in the late afternoon after classes end. The delicious sweet food is served hot with a sprinkle of sugar, usually with a cup of mint tea, and you can find it in almost all bakeries in the Moroccan streets or traditional markets
We will Visit a market of olives. We will have a stop and taste all kind of the olives and (harisa) harisa is a hot chillies.
After we taste the olives we will ahead to Derb Dabachi and taste Moroccan Mseman. Msemen are a flat, square-shaped Moroccan pancakes usually served for breakfast or tea time. They're made by flattening rghaif dough on an oiled surface until paper thin, dotting it with butter and semolina, then folding it into thirds (twice) to shape a layered pancake.
After we taste Mseman we will walk to Jemaa El fna and try Chebakia. Chebakia is one of the most famous Moroccan foods and is definitely a cookie that anyone who tries adores. The traditional sweet food can be found in the houses of most Moroccans, especially during the month of Ramadan, in restaurants as well, and of course in Morocco’s bustling medina streets.
Zaalouk is a smoky eggplant and tomato salad, seasoned with spices and garlic. It's often mashed to a dip-like consistency and drizzled with olive oil. As a testament to Morocco's abundant produce, Zaalouk celebrates the humble eggplant. Served as a side or a starter, its smoky and tangy flavors make it a staple in Moroccan mezze. Mechoui is a traditional Moroccan roasted lamb dish. The lamb is seasoned with a blend of spices, then slow-roasted until it's tender and falls off the bone. The meat is often eaten with one's fingers, making it a communal dining experience. Mechoui is often reserved for special occasions and large gatherings. Its preparation and serving method, where the entire lamb is roasted, showcases the Moroccan tradition of communal dining and celebration.

We had a wonderful food tour with Mobarak! Our nine-year-old son who is an extremely picky eater absolutely loved the tour and even tried snails, which was his favorite part. We tried many street foods and local places which was just what we wanted. Highly recommend!

Definately one of the best nights we enjoyed. The directions to the meeting point were super and given it was our first night, we found Mbarek straight away. Being out of season there was only my Husband and myself on the Tour. Mbarek made us feel at ease immediately and then off we went. He took us around the whole Medina and areas that we probably would either not have found or perhaps not gone into not knowing the area. We sat and ate with locals at different venues and sampled traditional Moroccan cuisine with beautiful mint tea. MBarek explained a lot about the history of buildings, the culture and the different foods and spices. I will say, make sure you are hungry as everything was stunning but I felt I could not do the food justice as just too much, although my Husband gave it a very good go!! We really enjoyed everything we tried...even the fantastic snail stand in the Medina and the amazing 'half' sandwiches (which we had another three of during our stay). Unfortunately, I cannot load any photo's of the lovely dishes or Mbarek himself as my phone was stolen on the last day and I had not uploaded to the cloud, so pretty gutted about that. All of that aside, I would definately recommend this tour. For a first night, it also gives you all your bearings as the Medina can be a bit a maze for first timers, but after this night - we always knew where we were and how to get everywhere. Thank you Mbarek.

Authentic Moroccan street food tour. Our guide spoke excellent English and was very informative on the foods plus any other questions we asked him about Marrakesh. We walked a good wide area, so got to see lots of the bustling city. Was nice to try the foods the locals eat. We was very full by the end of the tour!
