Eat with Locals – Moroccan Ramadan Iftar in a Casablanca Home

This private meal with locals is the perfect opportunity to experience the spirit of Ramadan and world-famous Moroccan hospitality, culture, and cuisine — all in the welcoming atmosphere of a Casablanca home.

After you arrive at your host’s home, you’ll have time to chat and get to know each other as you wait for the adhan, the call to prayer at sunset. At that moment, fasting for the day is officially over and eating can begin.

The meal served to break the fast at sunset is known globally as iftar, but in Morocco, many refer to it as four. It typically includes a mix of sweet and savory foods, bread, pastries, dried fruits, juices or milkshakes, soup, sandwiches, and possibly even a salad and brochettes. Your spread of food will be more than enough to suffice as dinner.

Menus will vary by host. Here are some of the authentic Moroccan dishes and Ramadan favorites you might try:
♦ Harira – Morocco’s famous tomato, lentil and chickpea soup
♦ Beghrir – spongy semolina pancakes served with butter and honey
♦ Moroccan beignets – light donuts often filled with jam
♦ Msemen – plain or stuffed, square-shaped pan-fried crepes
♦ Briouats – Savory nem-like pastries
♦ Batbout – a pita-like bread stuffed with sandwich fillers
♦ Kebabs – Moroccan-seasoned brochettes
♦ Mini-pizzas, quiches, and other finger food
♦ Assorted French viennoiseries
♦ Classic milkshakes or juice blends
