Atay And Moroccan Pastries.

Written by

Marrakech is known for its delicious sweets and pastries.

Shopping in the medina is a fascinating experience, but it can be overwhelming at times.

I realised that taking a break and pacing myself was the best way to thoroughly enjoy the experience.

Navigating the maze of alleyways in the souks is exciting, and there is so much more to them than beautiful leather goods and Moroccan lamps.

I especially love the sweets and pastries on offer.

They are absolutely delicious and compliment the taste of traditional mint tea known as atay perfectly.

There are so many pastries to choose from, and I decided to treat myself to a selection to see which my favourites are.

The tea is very hydrating, and I especially enjoyed the taste of the almond pastries most of all.

If you are shopping for gifts in the souks, I would highly recommend that you take some time out to rest and pace yourself.

Sitting outside a cute little tea shop selling something nice and light like a few Moroccan pastries is perfect.

It’s a good way to engage in the culture of Marrakech by observing everything going on around you.

Watching vendors calling out to tourists and bargaining the price of their wares is fun.

Friendly waiters buzz around serving their customers with a big smile.

There are plenty of places in the medina offering mint tea, traditional sweets, and pastries.

The sweets are an absolute treat, but you will be spoilt for choice.

Part of the pleasure of exploring the medina is finding hidden gems.

Places where you can sit and gather yourself before venturing back out into the crowds of tourists.

Marrakech has an abundant supply of delicious sweets and pastries.

They’re a light snack that won’t spoil your appetite for lunch or dinner.

A few suggestions of places to try are,

. Medina Kawa Marrakech.

. La Patisserie de la Terracce Spices

. Boughaz Coffee in the Kasbah.
