Sip a Moroccan tea at Café Hafa facing the Gibraltar Detroit

Walk around the Medina without a precise goal! You will always end up to the ramparts of the Kasbah!

You can choose between eight salted flavors (hummus, tchachouka…) and five sweet flavors (mandarin salad with cinnamon, homemade creme caramel …) in small or XXL sizes (130 dhs for 7 small kemias or 180 dhs for 7 XXL).

Join the Moroccan crowd on the corniche for sunset
It’s at sunset time that the locals go out and the city fills itself quite quickly! Join the crowd and enjoy a nice walk on the promenade.
Dine fresh fish in good restaurants
Choose between Saveur de Poisson and El Dorado. They both serve delicious fishes.
Saveur de Poisson is a tiny restaurant owned by a family. It gets crowded rapidly and people queue outside to be among the happy few to try the unique menu (250 dhs/person). When there is no more fish available, the owner closes the line! Better come early!
