Tangier Food Tour: a Taste of Moroccan Cuisine
- 2 hours
- Private tour
- EN · FR · ES · AR
Explore Tangier’s flavors through a culinary tour that will introduce you to Moroccan cuisine.
The best way to understand a Moroccan city is to eat your way through its market, which is what this Tangier food tour does. In Tangier that means the fish stalls, where the morning catch from the strait is laid out on ice, the vegetable and bread sellers, the olive merchants and the spice shops where your guide explains what goes into a tagine, a harira or a plate of couscous.
The tour moves at a walking pace with stops to taste along the way, and ends with you knowing the difference between ras el hanout and cumin, and where locals go for the best of both.

Questions
Questions about the Tangier food tour
What will we taste?
Local specialities chosen by your guide at the stalls and small kitchens of the market: the exact selection depends on the season and the day. Tastings are listed in your quote.
Can you cater for vegetarians or allergies?
Yes. Tell us about dietary preferences and allergies when you book and the guide adapts the stops.
When is the best time for the food tour?
Mornings, when the fish market and the food souks are at their busiest and freshest.
Do we need to bring Moroccan dirhams (MAD) with us?
Tangier is very popular with day trippers who visit from Tarifa and return the same day, so most restaurants, cafés and shops are used to taking euros and credit cards.
How does payment work?
We accept Moroccan dirhams or euros in cash at the end of the tour. A deposit is required for some tours and dates.
