Most riads in Morocco will offer this experience and you can book it even the day before. Even though it is a little expensive, a private walking tour can be tailored to what you want to see. We got to see the essential landmarks within the old medina and learn a bit about their history\/culture. Our guide also took us to some carpet shops, herb shops and leather shops \u2013 but remember you don\u2019t have to buy anything!<\/p>\n

- Experience Marrakech by night \u2013 Jemaa al Fnaa<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
This really is a sight! The square completely transforms from the snake charmers\/Mehendi artists during the day to a continuous line of food stalls with loud intrusive music. The aroma with all the Arabic spices is like nothing you\u2019ve ever experienced before. Again, watch your belongings and if you don\u2019t have a strong stomach, don\u2019t taste test the food.<\/p>\n

- Splurge on a night out with belly dancing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
It doesn\u2019t get more Arabic than belly dancers \u2013 with some insane belly movements that look like they might have dislocated their hips and the loud flute playing, it really is a unique experience. I can highly recommend Comptoir Dana which even though a bit expensive, will definitely give you a 5-star dining\/entertainment experience. The food is absolutely divine (especially the lobster ravioli) and the entertainment super fun! A definite must-try!<\/p>\n

- Eat some lamb, lamb and more lamb!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Lamb in Morocco is like rice and curry in Sri Lanka \u2013 it\u2019s everywhere, and for good reason! The Moroccans know how to cook lamb to perfection where the succulent meat just falls away from the bone. The portions are also huge! I\u2019m not a fan of couscous which is their staple diet, but the lamb can be ordered with absolutely anything.<\/p>\n

- Get lost in the smell of leather and noisy ceramics in Fez<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
An important rule \u2013 Do NOT buy leather or ceramics in Marrakesh because Fez offers a wider range for much cheaper! You\u2019re not disturbed by the constant motorcycles and cars trying to get through the narrow alleyways like in Marrakech as in Fez you can only walk through the medina (excuse the occasional donkey though!). Instead of going all the way to the stinky Tanneries (which is one of the sites you have to see in Fez), some leather shops will let you go all the way up to their rooftop in order to get a view of the famous Chouara Tanneries if you make a purchase at their shop.<\/p>\n
