£29.24 to £36.55 · 4.7 stars from 3,233 reviews · 2½ to 3 hours

Marrakech: Street Food Tour by Nightad walks the markets and souks after dark, with a meal included and a private option. GetYourGuide marks it a best seller and wheelchair accessible, and the listing says guests watch a méchoui maker, who roasts lamb whole in a pit oven.

Small-group tastings

£37.04 to £43.53 and £41.00 · 4.9 stars from 306 and 206 reviews · 4 hours

Marrakech Street Food Tour: Taste the Real Marrakechad is a small-group, wheelchair-accessible walk through neighbourhoods and food spots with a meal included. Marrakech: Medina Stories Food Tour with 15+ Tastingsad is also a 4-hour small group, with a meal included and a promise of more than 15 tastings. Both are dearer than the 3-hour walks and are the ones to book for a long, slow lunch.

More walks

Authentic Moroccan Food Walking Tour & Dinnerad is a 3-hour guided walk round the old medina and local food spots, ending in dinner, from £36.40 (4.8 stars from 279 reviews). Local Food Tasting Tour with a Guidead is a 3-hour medina walk from £39.57 (4.8 stars from 46 reviews). Guided Street Food Tasting by Localsad tastes olives, harira soup, flaky pancakes and savoury chicken, and then sits down to a lamb tajine, couscous and pastries, from £34.00 (4.4 stars from 60 reviews); its lunch or dinner is not marked as included on the listing, so ask. Marrakech: E-Bike Street Food Tour with Tastingsad covers lively neighbourhoods by e-bike over 3½ hours, from £35.61 (4.7 stars from 36 reviews).

An evening in the square and on the roofs

Marrakech: Jemaa el-Fnaa Night Street Food Tour with Dinnerad is a private-group tour with multiple tastings and a full dinner on Jemaa el-Fnaa, and it is priced by the date, from £33.15 to £117.30 (4.7 stars from 405 reviews, 3 hours). Read the date’s price before booking. Marrakech Medina Night Tour with Rooftop Dinnerad is the cheapest evening, from £17.41 to £19.31 over 6 hours, and it is self-guided: it visits two medina rooftop cafés with a soft drink at each, gives 40 minutes of free time on Jemaa el-Fnaa and ends with a Moroccan dinner, with transport included. See Jemaa el-Fnaa for the square.

The stalls on the square are being replaced: Al Omrane Marrakech-Safi published tender 147/2026 on 18 September 2026 for fitted stands for the food sellers, and bids close on 12 October 2026. The notice gives no number of stands or date. For the rules at a stall, see where to eat in Marrakech.

Dinner shows

Two city dinner shows sell in volume. Marrakech: Dinner Show at Dar Essalam Restaurantad is from £23.74 (4.6 stars from 4,723 reviews, 3 hours): a dinner show in a restaurant in the heart of the medina, in a small group, wheelchair accessible. Marrakech: Dinner Show at Nouba Restaurantad is from £38.78 (4.6 stars from 1,914 reviews): singers, aerial acrobats and dancers, with a chef serving Moroccan and Asian fusion across two menus. A dinner show in the Agafay desert, with a quad or a camel, is a different trip: see the Agafay desert.
