$$$Why Morocco
Morocco is intoxicating — colors, smells, sounds, hospitality. Stay in a riad, get lost in the medina, eat tagine on a rooftop and you'll understand the magic.
Must Try
- Mint tea poured from a great height
- Pastilla — pigeon-and-almond filo pie
- Harira soup to break the fast
Must Visit
- Marrakech medina and Jardin Majorelle
- Fes — the world's largest car-free old town
- Chefchaouen's blue medina
Before You Go
- Bargaining is the rule — start at a third
- Friday lunch is family time; many small shops close
- Carry small dirham notes for tips and tiny purchases
Local Legend
Mint tea is poured from a height — sometimes from over a metre — to aerate it and create the foamy head Moroccans call 'the keffieh of the tea'. Refusing a glass is considered an insult; accepting three is the polite minimum.

Local insight
