Marrakech: Tagine Cookery Class With a Local

Kick off this delicious Marrakech food tour at the legendary Jemma El Fnaa square, home to almost a millennium of trading, bargaining, eating, and mingling. Soak up the history, tradition, and culture all around you as you wander into the narrow streets branching off from the square, stopping along the way to explore some hidden local shops and taste a few of the many versions of olives, nuts, and other typical Moroccan snacks.

From there, head to one of the most popular sections of the city—the spice market. Take in the fragrant aromas of cumin, saffron, ginger, pepper, and turmeric as you wander through the colorful market, and then continue your Moroccan food odyssey through the souks, where you'll discover the many traditional breads, and perhaps try a cow hoof or sheep’s head along the way.

After seeing all the fresh ingredients of the souks and markets, enjoy a traditional Moroccan dinner amid the bustling World Heritage-listed Jemma El Fnaa at its peak, surrounded by locals, snakes, and monkeys—an atmosphere that's hard to beat.
