If you're feeling adventurous with street food, this little spot serves up one of the most traditional treats we tried in Marrakech—Sellou paired with a bold, spicy herbal tea. We had no idea what we were getting into at first, but that’s what made it such a fun discovery.
In Jemaa el-Fnaa, head to Stall No. 69, where you’ll spot towering mounds of Sellou (also known as Sfouf or Zamita). It’s a dense, sweet snack made from toasted flour, almonds, sesame seeds, honey, and warming spices—often enjoyed during Ramadan but available year-round here. The tea they serve on the side? It’s got a serious kick, likely a strong blend of Moroccan herbs with ginger and other bold spices.
It’s budget-friendly, quick, and one of those unique, only-in-Morocco flavor moments that make wandering the medina so worth it.
