Marrakech is a popular destination for Muslim travellers looking for somewhere cheap, relatively close and halal-friendly to visit. The densely packed medina is a must visit for all tourists looking to wander around the never ending souks. Try a freshly squeezed orange juice at one of the many stalls in the Jemaa el-Fnaa or sample local dishes once the evening market opens. If you’re looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, head to one of the restaurants below. We’ve put together a guide to some of the best halal restaurants in Marrakech.
