Courts & Cuisine: Serving Up Tennis and Tagines in Morocco

A Tennis Lover’s Dream: Morocco’s Premier Courts

From the lush courts of Marrakech to the prestigious clay of Rabat, Morocco’s tennis scene is both elite and inviting. Whether it’s a sunrise warm-up at a resort tucked in the Palmeraie or an afternoon rally beside Roman ruins in Fez, each match becomes a memory.

Mo and his team of ATP-level coaches, including Moroccan legends like Mehdi Tahiri and Hicham Tazi, don’t just teach the game—they live it with you. “Feel the bounce,” Mo often says, just before delivering a drill that leaves you breathless and grinning. These courts are sanctuaries of connection, laughter, and progress.


Savor the Journey: Guided Moroccan Food Tours

After tennis comes a different kind of passion play—Moroccan cuisine. Follow the aromas through winding souks in Marrakech or Fez, where cumin and saffron perfume the air. Each alley leads to discovery: steaming harira soup, crispy briouats, and mint tea poured like poetry.

These guided food tours bring stories with every bite. “This spice blend,” a vendor winks, “has healed more than heartbreak.”

Hands-On Flavor: Tagine Cooking Classes

At a sun-drenched riad in Rabat, the lid lifts from a bubbling tagine—lamb, apricots, and almonds in aromatic unison. You helped make it, coached by a local chef who reminds you: “Like tennis, patience flavors everything.”

You stir, season, and learn the art of low-and-slow. And when the steam hits your face just right? That’s a point won before it’s served.


An Evening at Chez Ali: Dinner and Spectacle

A night under desert stars. Horses gallop. Drums thunder. Dancers shimmer in traditional garb. And your table groans under platters of mechoui lamb and couscous royal.

Chez Ali isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an odyssey of Moroccan hospitality. The air pulses with centuries-old rhythms and the kind of joy that outlasts dessert.

A Moroccan Morning: Breakfast Delicacies to Remember

Before your racquet graces the court, your plate brims with msemen, honeyed harsha, and khlii-stuffed batbout. Mint tea warms your hands. The sun filters through mashrabiya windows. You’re not just nourished—you’re welcomed.

Every breakfast is a new chapter, and Morocco never skimps on the prologue.


Jamaa El Fna: Street Food and Night Market Magic

The heartbeat of Marrakech pulses hardest after dark. Lanterns glow. Drummers summon crowds. Food stalls sizzle with kefta, snail broth, and grilled aubergines.

Tennis may be your purpose—but this is your playground. You’ll dance between bites, sip avocado juice, and watch performers juggle fire. The night smells like cinnamon, oranges, and adventure.


The Flavor of Shared Victory

In Morocco, food and tennis are never just activities. They are ways to share joy, build camaraderie, and discover hidden talents—on the court and in the kitchen. Every swing and every spice blend tells a story, and when those stories are shared, they become unforgettable.


The Ultimate Tennis & Culinary Escape

Tennis gives you rhythm. Cuisine gives you roots. Together, they rewrite what travel can be.

You’ll leave Morocco with new strokes, new flavors, and a new kind of hunger—for life, for depth, for more.
