Our second recommedation is Darcom restaurant. Here you will be able to taste different dishes for about 10 €. This price includes the appetizer, the first course, and traditional moorish pastry. The tefka tagine or the moroccan harira soup are amazing!

For this reason, in this blog called Honeymoon in Morocco 1 | The ultimate guide to an unforgettable trip, we propose you the better activities to do in Tangier.
Stroll through the Medina and the Kasbah: dive into the origin of Tangier
In case you don’t know, a Medina is basically the old part of a moroccan city. On the other hand the kabash is an ensemble of fortress located in the highest point of the Medina. For this reason, if you want to know the real origin of Tangier, a visit to the Medina and the Kasbah is a must.

Tips if you are going to a souk
Are you one of this persons who love to take a typical item of the city you are visiting? iI you are, souks will be your favorite place. In these markets, you can find whatever you are looking for, since clothes to jewellery. However, this kind of markets can be a little different from what you may be used to. For this reason we’ll give you some important information it may be useful when going to a souk.
- In Moroccan souks, it’s common to haggle for the best price. At first, sellers might give you a high price, but if you negotiate, you can get the same item for much less. It may seem a bit rude at first, but don’t worry—everyone does it!
- Souks are usually divided by specialty, so if you’re looking for a specific item, you should head to the right section. Don’t wander around aimlessly—know where to find it!
- Going to a souk isn’t just about shopping—it’s about enjoying a unique sensory experience. Souks are filled with spice stalls and essential oils that will awaken your sense of smell to the fullest.
- Going to the souk is also a social gathering. Moroccans visit the souk as a form of entertainment and a way to meet with friends and acquaintances. So, if you want to meet locals or see how they interact in their daily lives, visiting one will be an unforgettable experience.
A good meal: the best way to get to know a place
Many people say that food brings people together, and I truly believe that’s true. A good meal can make your experience together even better, especially if you try new flavors. In Morocco, discovering new tastes is easy—the endless variety of spices and exotic ingredients used in their cuisine turns every meal into a true gastronomic experience.
A great place to experience this gastronomic journey is the Saveur de Poisson restaurant. Here, you can enjoy a set menu that includes all the typical Moroccan dishes you must try. This restaurant has a terrace where you can enjoy their high-quality and big-size dishes.
However, if you want to enjoy an incredible menu while having breathtaking views, a restaurant called L’ocean is the best option for you. Imagine being in front of the sea, while trying new flavors with the love of your life.
3. Tetouan: a city to remember
Tetouan, located in North Africa, was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. This is due to its unique architecture, which combines Andalusian influence with Moroccan traditions.
This city is full of romantic plans that will turn your trip into an unforgettable experience.
Stroll along the Medina
Let yourself be enchanted by the charm of its white and blue alleyways, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Every Medina has its own magic, so don’t worry if you’ve already explored others in Morocco!
Sunset in Place Mulay El Mehdi: the Spanish quarter
We’re used to watching the sunset from high, distant spots, but what if you experienced it from a charming plaza instead? This way, you can enjoy a breathtaking sunset without the long climb to a viewpoint!
Cabo Negro beach: a real oasis
If you want a change of scenery and to breathe in the sea breeze, just head 20 kilometers from Tetouan. Cabo Negro Beach is one of the most famous beaches in Morocco, and it’s no surprise why. Here, you’ll find hotels and tourist residences. Plus, it’s a favorite summer spot for locals, making it the perfect opportunity to connect with Moroccans!

Therefore, we’ve put together some romantic plans you can experience in this charming city.
A great plan to enjoy with your partner in this town is to watch the sunset. Lalla Rahma Beach is a true paradise where you can enjoy a wonderful afternoon without being surrounded by crowds.
