Our guide
There's no local kosher slaughter in Marrakech - the meat at Dar Ima restaurant comes in from Casablanca, so it's worth booking ahead rather than counting on walking in. The Lazama Synagogue, by contrast, is open for daily visits with no appointment needed, and doubles as a museum of Moroccan Jewish history.
Our recommendations
- Chabad House Marrakech in Guéliz is the center of activity; the 500-year-old Lazama Synagogue is in the historic Mellah - coordinate a visit in advance.
- Check availability of Shabbat and holiday meals at the kosher restaurants or the local Chabad house at least a few days in advance.
Stay in the kosher area of Marrakech
For Shabbat in Marrakech, base yourself in or near Guéliz, near the Chabad house - Chabad Lubavitch House (Chabad house listed on the site) is within walking distance from there, along with the other kosher listings for the city.
