Marrakech Street Food: Safety Tips

Street food is part of the Marrakech experience. With a few simple rules, most travelers enjoy it without any trouble.

Basic safety principles

Choose busy stalls where food is cooked fresh in front of you. Avoid raw unpeeled produce and stick to sealed bottled water.

What to try, and how to ease in

Grilled skewers, fresh orange juice, snail soup, msemen. Ease in gradually the first days. If discomfort occurs: rest, hydrate, see a pharmacist. Riad Dar Kawkawa, 3 min from Jemaa el-Fna, can point you to a trusted pharmacy.
