CASABLANCA, MOROCCO: Welcome to Casablanca, the biggest city in Morocco! It’s my first time visiting Morocco, and I’m extremely excited to be here and to eat some of the best local Moroccan food around the entire country. We’re starting in Casablanca today with a huge camel bbq and a Moroccan spider crab seafood feast!

A huge thank you to Moroccan Food Tour (https://moroccanfoodtour.com/) for arranging my trip to Morocco!

Le Gatsby Restaurant (https://maps.app.goo.gl/A9HYNK4BDQbu9oPj7) – Morning was quite quiet in the city, so we stopped at a restaurant to have Moroccan breakfast, especially khlea with eggs – preserved beef with eggs – which was amazing.

Hassan II Mosque – This is the largest mosque in Morocco and one of the largest in Africa. It was amazing to tour the outside and inside and admire the incredible architecture and how its built over the ocean.

Bakery, Tea, Olives market – We continued with this Moroccan food tour to one of the oldest bakeries in Casablanca, tried some local Moroccan sweets and tea, and then continued to the olives market.

Grillades Ait Baamrane (https://maps.app.goo.gl/YcytNFRPAA26GM9G9) – Morocco is a meat heaven and we went to the local butchers where you can get camel meat and beef, and everything is as fresh as possible. We got a mix of camel and then went to a grill restaurant where they prepared everything fresh. It was an amazing meal, and all about all parts of the camel.

Central Marketplace – Morocco is also known for its seafood and next up on this Moroccan street food tour we headed to the Central Marketplace for a taste of the freshest seafood including oysters, mussels, and sea urchin. We also bought some seafood like a Moroccan spider crab and some fish. Inside the courtyard of the market you’ll find dozens of restaurants that cook all the seafood you buy. The spider crab was a highlight!

La Sqala – Finally just for a quick dessert we headed to the historical La Sqala to try ktefa – a traditional Moroccan dessert with layers of flaky filo.

  1. Morocco is best place for food in the world easily! Sqala is my favorite moroccan restaurant in Casablanca great food!

  2. It is so wonderful that you are in Morocco with a series. Beautiful people with beautiful markets. Great food but the camel meat experience was my favorite video part. So friendly with so many people recognize you. Thank you Mark for the video of the Mosque it was amazing to visit it and see the outstanding design.

  3. The Hassan II mosque built with the money (under police obligation!) of all Moroccans with a special tax, while the king himself was a billionaire. To add to national insult, he named the mosque after himself instead of the people who sacrificed so much, or at least after one of Allah's attributes or after the Prophet. But no, hubris was stronger that faith…

  4. I love your videos because I like watching and finding places with great food but I’ve never seen anyone especially someone that’s supposed to be doing this professionally have such poor table manners it kind of. Discussed me when you have food hanging on your chin sometimes.

  5. Morocco is a great tourist destination so long as you do not talk politics. It also looks evident that Mark was "accompanied" by security, private or State, and that he did not show some of Casablanca's neighborhoods.

  6. Camel and horse meat should be banned worldwide , it is barbaric to slaughter pet animal
    Stop the barberism.
    Mark , be the model and stop spreading this barbarism .
    You know this videos will not help your images in near futures ..

    Other than that , enjoy your holiday in morocco

  7. I just love how he immerses himself in the culture of whatever country he visits. Such enthusiasm and respect not only for the food but for the people. Mahalo, Mark, for sharing your amazing videos with the rest of the world!!!

  8. Dude Andrew Zimmern from Bizarre Foods (I know you've met him before) tried Khlea and acted like it was the most putrid thing he's ever put in his mouth! I was like it can't be THAT bad, sounds good! This made it look REALLY good! NEED ME SOME KHLEA!
