Moroccan cuisine is a true reflection of the country’s rich history and cultural diversity. Influenced by Berber, Arab, and Mediterranean traditions, Moroccan dishes are known for their bold flavors, aromatic spices, and unique combinations of ingredients. The use of spices such as cumin, paprika, saffron, and cinnamon adds depth and complexity to the dishes, while the combination of sweet and savory flavors creates a harmonious balance on the palate.
One of the most famous products of the souks are the colorful piles of spices & herbs that you’ll see in every shop.
