The way to a family’s heart… - Ahmed - an official Marrakesh guide - introduced us to the city on our first full day… and we enjoyed his tour and his company so much we asked him to introduce us to the Marrakesh food scene a couple of evenings later! And the second tour was every bit as good as the first. Ahmed took us to the food stalls, street vendors, and local cafes you’d never know about, explained the meaning of the meals, and the traditions that surround each of them (with a little politics and culture thrown in). We loved it - and our young teenage kids said it was the highlight of their trip (and if that’s not high praise I don’t know what is!) A terrific experience not to be missed.
