Food aficionado can come across some Moroccan street food they did not even have in mind. They feel fascinated by some unfamiliar but amazingly compatible taste of different spices used. Cumin, Cinnamon and saffron are the most recognizable but there are more spices that make Marrakech cuisine exclusive.

Street food stalls are lined on every alley of Moroccan city in North Africa. Tourists and the locals gather at these stalls to savor the flavor cuisine. It is difficult to choose from tender lamb coated with local herbs or aubergines sparkling with oil or cous-cous cooked to excellence or the rich stews.

Participate in Marrakech Food Tours, so that you can get to know about the unfamiliar spices from the local guide.
