    Ramadan (approximate dates)

    During the day many restaurants close or open less and museum and shop hours change. The evenings, with iftar, are very special.

    What to do: Out of respect, don’t eat or drink in the street during the day; book dinner for after sunset.

Where and what to eat

To eat like a local: the souk stall. The dishes you can’t miss are in the Morocco guide.
