Well some excellent news! For those of you who don’t speak French, this article announces a new service desk to pay for your taxi ride from Marrakech Airport to your destination.

Unfortunately, one of the downsides to airport arrivals in the past has been shady taxi drivers charging obnoxious prices despite the price being regulated by local authorities.

Now you pay at the service desk and give the receipt to the driver. Clean, clear, no overcharging!

A good thing to know before you go!

There are Hanouts (convenience stores) all over Morocco. From individual packets of shampoo to homemade egg sandwiches, they carry everything you could possibly need. Each hangout has its own specific blend of Ras El Hanout spices!

Ras el Hanout is the most important spice mix in Moroccan cuisine and should be used in many dishes, without the dish not tasting the way it should taste❤️
Ras el Hanout basically means 'head of the spice shop' and represents the best spices available to the merchant at the time. As a result, the composition can vary from day to day. Ras el Hanout varies from region to region. The most common composition of herbs is:

1 tablespoon black peppercorns
1/2 tablespoon ground ginger
1/2 tbsp cumin seeds
2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 tablespoon nutmeg
2 teaspoon coriander seeds
1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 tsp paprika
2 tsp. cardamom
3 teaspoon turmeric
2 teaspoon chili flakes
1/2 tablespoon coarse sea salt
1 teaspoon ground cloves

How did I miss this gem from Alizia wanders? Hashtag Everydaymorocco for thé win

It may be from 7 months ago, but Alizia captures my home neighbourhood perfectly. In fact I swear to God she shot the intro and extro on the rooftop next to mine!

Sadly Chez Ma Tante did not make through and has closed but it really was a nice place.

Thanks for bringing Quartier Ocean to life for us all, residents and visitors alike.

🍩 🇲🇦 🇮🇹 Sfince are typical donuts found in Italy, especially in the region of Sicily

As its name suggests, its name derives from the "Sfenj" dialect and its preparation is almost similar to the donuts found in Morocco.

Linguistic proximity linked to history and a crossroads of culture. Sicily, like Malta 🇲🇹, were once conquered by Arab-Amazigh populations from the Maghreb, particularly from the 10th to the 12th century AD during the Muslim conquest of the Iberian Peninsula.

The word Sfenj or Shfenj which is attributed to designate these donuts, comes from the Arabic "Isfenj: إسفنج" literally meaning "sponge".

A name that comes from the fact that its characteristics are similar to that of a sponge that absorbs cooking oil.

Donuts that are usually eaten for breakfast or as a snack accompanied by a glass of mint tea.

🍩 🇲🇦 🇮🇹 Les sfince sont des beignets typiques que l'on trouve en Italie notamment dans la région de Sicile

Comme son nom l'indique, son appellation dérive du dialecte " Sfenj " et sa préparation est quasiment similaire aux beignets que l'on retrouve au Maroc.

Une proximité linguistique liée à l'histoire et un croisement de culture. La Sicile, comme Malte 🇲🇹, ont été autrefois conquises par les populations arabo-amazighes provenant du Maghreb notamment du 10ème au 12ème siècle de notre ère lors de la conquête musulmane de péninsule ibérique.

Le mot Sfenj ou Shfenj que l'on attribue pour désigner ces beignets , provient de l'arabe " Isfenj : إسفنج " signifiant littéralement " éponge ".

Une dénomination qui vient du fait que ses caractéristiques sont sembables à celle d'une éponge qui absorbe l'huile de friture.

Des beignets que l'on consomme généralement au petit déjeuner ou bien au goûter accompagnés d'un verre de thé à la menthe.
