Just realized we will be touring Morocco (Marrakesh, Fez, Casablanca & Essaouira) in the middle of Ramadan. We were looking forward to a food tour and visiting the souks to see displays of food. Will they be closed or pared back during the day? Anyone visit during Ramadan in Morocco that can share their experiences?

Honestly, don't worry, The souks don’t shut down, they just start a little later and get dressed up with massive displays of Ramadan treats like honey-drenched Chebakia and premium dates, About 30–60 minutes before sunset, shops will abruptly close so owners can get home for Iftar (the breaking of the fast). The streets will become eerily quiet for about an hour.
