If you travel to Morocco on a regular basis, you may already be familiar with the Riad. If not, they are a fantastic part of Almoravid dynasty’s history and an absolutely stunning piece of architecture that has to be seen to be believed! Join me as I take a look at the riads, what is so incredibly unique about them and what is being done to protect their legacy.

If you’re a fan of Moroccan cuisine or the Mediterranean diet, you’ll be aware of tajine (tagine), the succulent slow-cooked stew made with meat, spices, dried fruit and vegetables. It’s easy to make and tastes as heavenly as it smells!

However, there is also another similar dish called tanjia (tangia). Both tajine and tanjia are delicious savory Moroccan stews. They are similar in the fact they are both named after the clay pots they are cooked in.
