Traditional Sweet Dishes
Kaab el Ghazal (gazelle horns)
Kaab el Ghazal, or gazelle horns, are delicate almond-filled pastries shaped to look like a gazelle's horn, their thin, crispy dough is perfumed with orange blossom and hides a rich, buttery almond center.
Chebakia
Chebakia are sesame-studded, rose-shaped pastries that are deep-fried then soaked in honey, they are traditionally made in large batches for Ramadan because they keep well and symbolize generosity.
Sellou
Sellou is a toasted flour, almond and sesame mixture bound with honey and butter, it is an energy-dense treat served to new mothers and during Ramadan to replenish strength.
Traditional Savory Dishes
Tagine
A tagine is both a conical clay pot and the slow-cooked stew made in it, the lid traps steam and returns condensation to the dish, concentrating flavors and creating meltingly tender meat.
Couscous
Couscous is steamed semolina pearls, often cooked in three stages until light and fluffy, it is the centerpiece of communal Friday meals and symbolises family and hospitality.
Pastilla
Pastilla layers crisp pastry with savory spiced meat, usually pigeon or chicken, plus a sweet dusting of cinnamon and sugar, the sweet-and-savory contrast marks it as a celebratory dish for weddings and feasts.
Traditional Beverages
Moroccan mint tea
Moroccan mint tea, a blend of gunpowder green tea, plenty of fresh spearmint and lots of sugar, is poured from height to aerate and make a frothy top, offering both refreshment and a ritual of hospitality.
Amlou
Amlou is a glossy spread of roasted almonds, argan oil and honey, it tastes like Morocco in a jar and highlights argan oil produced by women's cooperatives in the Souss region, where it is treasured as a breakfast dip for bread.

Medina chaos is part of the charm, colors and spices everywhere. Food blew my mind, would go back for the street cafes alone.
Bargain hard in the souk, then walk two blocks away to eat. Also carry small cash bills, drivers often refuse big notes.
Jemaa el-Fnaa is incredible for photos but can be overwhelming at night, noisy and pushy, not great if you want quiet.
Nice riad stay, amazing breakfasts. Felt a bit touristy in parts, I would stay four nights to see it properly.
Skip the airport taxis at peak, take the CTM shuttle or shared minibus to Gueliz, much cheaper and you avoid long waits.
