Over a homemade meal, listen to Moroccan fables told by a charismatic professional storyteller. The evening is an ode to the country\u2019s age-old tradition of hikayat (oral storytelling) which once captivated crowds in city squares with tales of history, folklore and legend. While the tradition has faded in recent years, a new generation is bringing it back to the fore and travellers on the <a href=\"\/morocco\/premium-morocco-depth-166470\">Premium Morocco in Depth trip<\/a> will be part of its revival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7.
