I’ll say this upfront: living in Marrakesh,
whether during Ramadan* or not, can be difficult. Whilst I cannot
vouch for its conditions during winter (which I hear can be extremely cold), I
can definitely say that if you are not used to the ridiculous high temperatures
that it has during summer, you might want to cancel your plans of touring the
city during the day to simply stay home or seek shelter at an air-conditioned cafe to beat the heat.
However, the food and hospitality of the local
people makes up for the ungodly heat. Seriously though, whether it be the
panini and pizzas of your neighborhood cafe, or the tajine and mint tea from
your Moroccan friends during Eid dinner, I have yet to be disappointed by the
taste of the food that has colored my palette.
