There is nothing better than arriving at a new country and discovering all the unique foods, spice and smells the nation has to offer. Morocco serves up some of their best dishes in tajines or decorative clay pots. Mouth-watering selections of lamb, chicken and beef dishes, fresh fish and a variety of vegetarian stews are left to simmer in a complex aromatic spice blend until ready to eat with a side of couscous.
