Highlights
Starting in the late afternoon, as the light softens over the Grand Socco, we’ll journey through Tangier’s bustling Main Market and old medina where locals shop, eat, and unwind at day’s end. This is Tangier in transition, when the city glows gold before dusk and the aromas of dinner begin to fill the air. Over the next four hours, we’ll taste our way through the city’s culinary heart. Sample mountain jben cheese with honey and almond amlou, savour creamy chickpea calientes, and visit decades-old eateries known only to locals for their fragrant tagines. Go underground to a communal oven to learn about Tangier’s fiery food traditions, watch delicate wacqa pastries being handmade, and end the evening with nutty Arabic sweets and house-roasted spiced coffee, among many more surprises. With 15+ tastings across markets, backstreets, and hidden kitchens, this twilight feast captures Tangier's food scene as locals know it.

We'll explore Tangier's centuries-old food scene shaped by Arabic, Spanish, French and the rest of Morocco. On foot, we'll discover the old souk, the Main Market and the winding white-washed alleys of the medina. We'll stop for 15+ tastings from market stalls to backstreet eateries tasting the real Tangier that locals know. This coastal city has long inspired the legends. Artists, writers, dreamers, and thinkers have all wandered these coastal medina. Beyond the name-dropping, Yves Saint Laurent, Matisse, Paul McCartney, and the Rolling Stones, there’s a whole culinary world waiting to be explored. Join our four-hour evening feast, winding through the markets, the Grand Socco, and Tangier’s whitewashed alleys. Moroccan food is so much more than tagines.
Our culinary exploration ends back at the meeting point on the Grand Socco. Conclude the tour with new memories and the knowledge and confidence to continue eating your way around Morocco.

About Tangier
Tangier sits where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean, a storied Moroccan port of whitewashed medina lanes, a hilltop kasbah and views to Spain.
The medina climbs from the port to the kasbah, where the old sultan's palace, Dar el Makhzen, holds a museum with views across the Strait of Gibraltar. The Grand Socco and Petit Socco were long the meeting points of the city, and their cafés recall Tangier's decades as an international zone that drew writers, musicians and artists.
