If you’re wandering through the medina and catch a whiff of something tangy and delicious—follow your nose. You’ve probably found the Olive Market, a vibrant corner of the souk that’s piled high with olives in every shape, color, and marinade imaginable.
We weren’t planning to stop, but the rainbow-like displays of green, purple, black, and spiced olives totally pulled us in. From lemony, chili-infused varieties to sweet preserved ones you’ve probably never tried before, this place is a dream for foodies or anyone wanting to taste something truly local.
Even if you’re not big on olives (yet), it’s worth walking through just for the colorful visuals and lively energy. Don’t be shy about asking for a sample—most vendors are happy to let you taste before you buy. Just make sure to bring a few dirhams and your appetite!
