Drink, Morocco

Displayed:   times.

You should drink frequently in the dry climate of Morocco. There's plenty to choose from. Water is sold in small and large plastic bottles. Always have some around since you don't want to drink tap water. If you're concerned about salt check the label as some brands have higher sodium content. Fruit juice is everywhere and it perhaps one of the best things to drink. Fresh squeezed orange juice is a great way to start the day and nowhere is it better than Morocco. Other fruit juices are equally good. Try banana or avocado (yes, it's tasty, mixed with milk and sugar) or try both together! Sodas like Fanta and Coke can be found everywhere. But to drink Moroccan style you must take a break (or several breaks) during your day to enjoy thé du menthe, mint tea. It's usually served with lots of sugar, so tell them how you like it. This is a ritual that all Moroccans observe many times a day. It is a relaxing way to enjoy the country and it's people. If you're lucky they'll even make a ceremony out of it. Alcohol in Morocco is less strictly controlled than in other Islamic countries. You can find licensed restaurants and bars to serve you. But the drinks aren't cheap. Moroccan beer is good and you can also find Heineken and Spanish beers around. Wine is pricey and just OK if you stick to the reds. Hard liquor is in limited supply and there aren't so many brands available, except in the bigger cities.
