journey to Morocco!

We have curated some fun inspiration for your journey to Morocco!

Food and Drinks

  • Ditch the chairs!  Make your residents comfortable and make floor cushions.  Use blankets or ottomans.
  • Try making some authentic Moroccan Mint tea, or for some libation fun, try out this Morrocan Spiced Mint Tea Julep cocktail! Here’s an interesting article on the history of Moroccan tea!
  • Keep things simple and fresh! Make cucumber and lemon water, put out an olive bar with almonds, dates, and dried apricots! Any summery fresh fruit such as canteloupe and oranges will work, as well.
  • Hosting a dinner? Try Chicken Tagine with Almonds, Apricots, and Olives
  • Layer colorful bedsheets in bright, saturated, jewel-toned colors on the table and add some garden flowers for decoration in small juice glasses.
  • You can also create a wall tapestry backdrop using the finished Moroccan patterns colored by residents!
  • Have a great display of spices on the table.
