Opplev Marrakech: Mat og Markedstur på Djemaa El Fna, inkludert tradisjonell middag

Guiden vår Atika var super informativ om alle matvarene vi spiste og severdighetene vi så. Det er mye å gå, så ta med deg gode sko og vær oppmerksom så du ikke blir overkjørt av de mange millioner scootere og motorsykler som glipper gjennom smugene. (Marrakech-folk pleier å gå veldig raskt også.) Gruppen var begrenset til 12 personer, og det var relativt enkelt å finne den rette guiden på møtepunktet foran Cafe de France, selv om det var to andre turer som møtte der på nøyaktig samme tid og Jemaa El Fna-plassen er fullført kaos. Vi spiste definitivt fyllet vårt på turen, fra smultringer i det jødiske kvarteret til det jeg kaller "marokkansk minestrone" (harirasuppe) på torget til snacks fra souken til sakte kokt oksekjøtt og lam i mål. Det var mer mat enn vi kunne fullføre, og det var koselig å ta med seg posen med blandede nøtter fra en av bodene i souken. Én ting å merke seg: vi fikk ikke prøve sneglesuppen som andre anmeldelser nevnte. Litt skuffet, men forståelig at turstopp kan endre seg basert på hva gjestene liker / ikke liker over tid. Totalt sett en veldig god tur, vel verdt pengene!

Kan ikke si noe dårlig det var en flott opplevelse med noen flotte mennesker. Omar var morsom og hadde mye lokalkunnskap

This was a perfect way to begin our trip. We tried such a variety of traditional food from olives to soups to tangina to snails and sweets! Our guide was full of great knowledge, tips and stories and did a great job integrating six Australians and Europeans with two of us and making it so much fun!

A memorable experience expertly guided through the labyrinth of streets into Aladin’s caves of bakeries and food stalls by the charismatic Omar imparting history and local knowledge with great skill and care.

We were guided by fun and gregarious Omar, whose English was faultless and whose fun demeanour kept everyone delighted all evening. This tour was one of the highlights of our trip. There's so much scare-mongering out there about being a tourist at night here, so if you're feeling a little nervous or are just a bit overwhelmed by the culture shock, this is the perfect thing to really help you feel at ease and happy walking around the city at night. It would be an absolute crime to not see this incredible city come to life after dark. My boyfriend was hoping for a bit more of a foodie tour- looking for ingredients, spices etc. round the market, but this was more of an amazing magical mystery tour of sampling such a wide range of culinary delights all round different areas of the medina. I honestly can't recommend it enough, we had a really great time, felt like we got so much bang for our buck, and got to try so many amazing foods in a great variety of settings- not just the touristy places. Our favourite bit was going to the neighbourhood communal oven and learning about how everyone brings their dough to be baked. Omar is ace, such an informative, lovely guy.

Fabulous few hours tasting and learning about the food of Morocco. Omar was a great guide and made sure that everyone was enjoying themselves. We tried pastries, savoury doughnuts, soup, snails and, of course, olives before a lovely dinner on a rooftop terrace. Go hungry is my advice, you won’t regret it. Very entertaining evening spent in the Médina

Great experience! the tour was a great way to experience the market, to stay away from tourist traps and discover nice places. Our guide was engaging and great!

Good guide, good food experience, good company - this tour has it all. Value for money as well! An excellent experience.

This was one of the most memorable food tours I've taken, and Omar was the most hilarious and engaging local guide! We made no fewer than 10 stops around the city, sampling a bunch of different goodies along the way! Here were some of the highlights: -A local bakery- we saw the deep oven used to bake round loaves of bread both for the baker and for neighborhood families. -A Moroccan donut/pancake shop in the Jewish quarter- here we got samples of Moroccan mint tea (each pot is made with two rectangular BLOCKS of sugar, freshly fried donuts, and savory, chewy pancakes stuffed with onion. -A pastry shop- most of the pastries, sweetened with honey, were made with some kind of nut, but most were made of almonds. -A Berber “pharmacy” (spice shop)- here we tried Berber tea (made with mixed herbs), as well as bread with Berber “nutella,” a dip made with ground almonds, honey, and argan oil (this was definitely a highlight for me!). We also got a thorough explanation of different spices, herbs, perfumes, and more from the person running the store. -Food stall at Jemaa el-Fnaa (the most bustling evening square I’ve ever seen)- at the first stall, we had harira soup, a tomato-based soup with chickpeas and pasta, along with a very sweet sesame pastry on the side. At another stall, we had snail soup—you used toothpicks to coax the little snails out of their shells, and the spiced broth gives them a nice warming, savory flavor. -Olive stalls- right outside the main square, there are a bunch of stalls all selling olives, a Moroccan staple—we tried green olives marinated in herbs; garlic; harissa; as well as black olives. -Chez Lamine Hadj Mustapha- by far the highlight for me of this food tour was sitting down for tangia (not tagine) at the rooftop terrace of a restaurant run by a former chef of the King of Morocco! Tangia is a stew of beef cooked in an earthenware pot with spices and preserved lemon, and the flavor and tenderness of the meat were unlike any I’ve had before! -Back to a stall at Jemaa el-Fnaa for a final tea made with a ton of spices, including ginger, cardamom, mace, and nigella seeds (along with plenty of sugar, of course). This acted as a final digestive and farewell drink, before we parted ways! What an amazing food tour.. four hours just flew by! Not only did we get to have some great food, we also got to visit local places and connected with an awesome, funny, knowledgeable tour guide! What a great experience!

From Morrocan crepes and pancakes, Morrocan spices to such dinner classics as snails, tagines and tanjias, this 3+ hour tour was both fun and informative. The food was great, the conversations even better. Our guide for the night, Omar, was the best: kind, funny, and most importantly, informative. Whether the questions were about Morrocan food, Marrakech specialties, Islamic customs or life in the medina, Omar was quick and accurate in his responses. He truly made it an evening to remember. Given the chance, I would readily do the tour again. Thanks Omar for a fun night out.
