Moroccans grow accustomed to sfenj starting in early childhood either in the morning before school starts or in the late afternoon after classes end. The delicious sweet food is served hot with a sprinkle of sugar, usually with a cup of mint tea, and you can find it in almost all bakeries in the Moroccan streets or traditional markets

5. Zaalouk is a smoky eggplant and tomato salad, seasoned with spices and garlic. It's often mashed to a dip-like consistency and drizzled with olive oil. As a testament to Morocco's abundant produce, Zaalouk celebrates the humble eggplant. Served as a side or a starter, its smoky and tangy flavors make it a staple in Moroccan mezze. Mechoui is a traditional Moroccan roasted lamb dish. The lamb is seasoned with a blend of spices, then slow-roasted until it's tender and falls off the bone. The meat is often eaten with one's fingers, making it a communal dining experience. Mechoui is often reserved for special occasions and large gatherings. Its preparation and serving method, where the entire lamb is roasted, showcases the Moroccan tradition of communal dining and celebration.

About Marrakech

At the foot of the Atlas Mountains, red-walled Marrakech is famed for its maze-like medina, lively main square and tranquil riads and gardens.

Jemaa el-Fnaa, the great square at the centre of the medina, changes character through the day, from juice sellers and snake charmers in the morning to smoke-wreathed food stalls and musicians after dark. The minaret of the Koutoubia Mosque rises nearby as the city's landmark, and the souks spread north in a warren of lanes selling leather, lanterns, carpets and spices.

Top-ranked sights in Marrakech: Atlas Mountains, Tizi-n'Tichka Pass, Jemaa el-Fna (Djemaa el-Fna).
