There’s no better place to start than in the atmospheric Medina. Lose yourself in the old town’s maze of ancient alleyways, where vendors gather to sell their wares. Meeting the locals is all part of the experience, so take your time while you talk and taste. Instead of going out to a swish restaurant or staying in the hotel for dinner, make a beeline for Djemaa el-Fna, where crowds gather to enjoy authentic dishes. Feasting in the square after dark is an overwhelming sensory experience: there’s a cacophony of sounds — from traders to snake charmers — and aromas of meat sizzling on the grill fill the air, as you devour spicy Moroccan delights.
