For some personal inspiration, Matt Shock, our Africa travel specialist, had this to say about his time in Marrakech:
“A highlight of my trip to Marrakech was the street food tour. It gives you an insider's view of the old medina that you wouldn’t see otherwise. Try an interesting, broad variety of food, from fresh juices to sweet confectionary. Some of which are cooked by women in their houses, who pop out chairs when you come past. Locals love introducing visitors to their culture and are so warm and friendly.”
