Meeting Point
We meet at ‘Bab Doukkala’ gate on the Rue Boutouil side. It is easy to access with a taxi from the city’s hotels. The gate has four arches. There are two smaller arches for pedestrians on either side, one of which is next to a small sidewalk kiosk. The guide will meet you here for your food tour.

What to expect
Medina of Marrakesh
Marrakech's medina is about as close to an Indiana Jones movie as you can get. It's a maze of smoky street side grills and snake charmers, Berber carpets and calls to prayer, swaying palms and Arabic coffee houses. But it's the food that makes this city so special. Forget soggy *sfenj* and mediocre tagines. Over four hours you'll dig deep into this culinary powerhouse. Expect trays of sardines crackling with cumin in a wood-fired bakehouse, smoky chicken skewers sizzling over charcoal, simmered escargot in ras el hanout, soothing bowls of harira with sweet-caramel dates, slow-cooked tagine baked in the embers of a hammam, and many more surprises. It's more than that though. It's a crash course in the culture behind the food, the answer to all those culinary questions: Why is bread so sacred? Why do dates get served in odd numbers? And is the Djemaa el-Fnaa really worth eating in? This is four hours of eating you don't want to miss out on.
