Street Food Safety Guide

Look for busy stalls with high turnover—it means fresh ingredients. Watch locals to see where they eat. Avoid raw vegetables in street food, but cooked dishes are generally safe.

  • Green light: Steaming hot tagines, grilled meats, fresh bread
  • Proceed with caution: Pre-made salads, uncooked garnishes

Mint Tea Etiquette

When offered mint tea (atai), accept it—it's a sign of hospitality. Hold the glass by the rim, not the body. Three cups is traditional: the first bitter as life, second strong as love, third gentle as death.

  • Best cafés: Café des Épices, Café Clock, Nomad
  • Local secret: Add a pinch of fresh verbena for extra flavor
  • Cultural note: Refusing tea can be seen as rude
  • Price: 5-15 MAD in local cafés, 30-50 MAD in tourist spots

Dress Respectfully

Morocco is Muslim-majority. Cover shoulders and knees, especially in medinas and religious areas. Lightweight, loose clothing works best in the heat while respecting local customs.

  • Women: Maxi skirts, loose pants, light scarves
  • Men: Long pants or knee-length shorts, t-shirts OK
  • Exception: Beach towns and tourist riads are more relaxed
