Traveling in Morocco isn’t just about seeing sights — it’s about experiencing a world of flavors and aromas. Moroccan cuisine engages all your senses: from the vibrant colors of spices to the scent of fresh mint tea, every dish tells an ancient story.
With Marocco Experience, your journey becomes a culinary adventure, where tasting traditional dishes is an essential part of discovering Morocco.
Tajine: The Art of Slow Cooking
The tajine is one of Morocco’s most iconic dishes. Cooked in a traditional conical clay pot, it combines meat, fish, or vegetables with aromatic spices such as ginger, turmeric, and cinnamon.
Each region has its own specialty: in Marrakech, try the lamb tajine with prunes and almonds, while in the Sahara, chicken tajine with olives and preserved lemon is a must.
The slow cooking allows flavors to blend perfectly: every bite is a journey through the scents of Morocco.
Couscous: The Dish of Sharing
Couscous is the dish that brings families and friends together. Made from semolina, fresh vegetables, and tender meat, it is often served during celebrations and special occasions.
Tasting it in traditional homes or riads in Marrakech and Fès lets you experience conviviality and culture.
A drizzle of local olive oil and a sprinkle of spices highlight its authenticity.
Pastilla: Sweet and Savory in Perfect Harmony
Pastilla is a surprising dish that combines sweet and savory flavors. Made with thin pastry, chicken or pigeon, almonds, and powdered sugar, flavored with cinnamon and saffron, it’s a true culinary delight.
Served as an appetizer or main course in traditional restaurants, pastilla is a testament to the creativity of Moroccan cuisine.
Mint Tea: The Symbol of Hospitality
Moroccan mint tea is more than a drink — it’s a ritual. Prepared with green tea, fresh mint leaves, and sugar, it is served several times a day as a sign of hospitality and friendship.
During desert tours or in city riads, sipping mint tea is a moment of relaxation and sharing, perfectly capturing the local atmosphere.
