Descripción del tour
At sunset Jemaa el-Fnaa changes. Carts are wheeled out, a hundred numbered kitchens unfold, gas lamps come on and smoke rises over the whole square. It is the most photographed food scene in Africa and the one where visitors most reliably get fleeced.
We do it with the prices agreed in advance, in writing, at one stall your guide has worked with for years. Harira, the tomato, lentil and chickpea soup eaten with dates and a hard-boiled egg. Merguez and lamb kefta off the grill. Zaalouk, the smoked aubergine salad. Then the two things everyone photographs and few try: babbouche, snails simmered in a broth of liquorice root, aniseed and thyme, drunk from the bowl afterwards as a remedy; and, if you want it, sheep's head, which is not a dare here but a delicacy.
Your guide explains what the square was before the food stalls, what the storytellers and Gnawa musicians at the far end are doing, and how the numbered-stall system works.
We finish with mint tea on a rooftop above it all.
Small group, maximum 10 guests.

Itinerario detallado
Parada 1 - La plaza al anochecer: Observamos cómo salen los carros y se montan los puestos, mientras tu guía explica la historia de la plaza y el sistema de puestos numerados.
Parada 2 - Harira: La sopa de tomate, lentejas y garbanzos con la que se rompe el ayuno durante el Ramadán y que se consume durante todo el año, acompañada de dátiles y un huevo duro.
Parada 3 - Merguez y kefta a la parrilla: Salchicha especiada de cordero y brochetas de cordero picado cocinadas al carbón, con pan y una ensalada de tomate y cebolla.
Parada 4 - Zaalouk y taktouka: Berenjena ahumada con ajo y comino, y una ensalada cocinada de pimientos y tomate, que se comen con pan.
Parada 5 - Babbouche: Caracoles cocidos a fuego lento en un caldo de raíz de regaliz, anís, tomillo y piel de naranja. Los caracoles se comen con un alfiler y el caldo se bebe; los lugareños lo consideran medicinal.

Parada 7 - Té de menta y pasteles en una azotea: Con vistas a la plaza, mientras tu guía habla de los músicos gnawa y los narradores de historias del extremo más alejado.

Runs daily at 18:30.
On the square, plainly: stall touts will physically steer you, unordered dishes appear on bills, and posted prices are not always the prices charged. Your guide agrees a fixed per-head price with one stall before we sit, counts every dish aloud and pays. That is what you are buying.
Our guides are licensed. Unlicensed guides are illegal in Morocco and persistent here.
Ramadan: during Ramadan the square empties completely fifteen minutes before sunset and then erupts. It is the single best evening of the year to be here and we adjust our timing accordingly - ask us if your dates fall inside it.
Earthquake note: reconstruction after the September 2023 earthquake is largely complete in the medina, but some monuments near the square remain under scaffolding. Your guide will explain what you are looking at.
Alcohol is not served on the square. Licensed restaurants and riads serve it and your guide can point you to them.
Water and hygiene: bottled water only, cooked-to-order stalls, no salads that have been standing.
Dietary needs: tell us at least 48 hours ahead. Vegetarian works via harira made without meat stock, zaalouk, taktouka and bread.
Minimum age 8. About 1 km of walking on flat ground.
