Along the Spice Route that stretched from China through the Middle East and Africa to Europe, Morocco became a hub for an abundance of exotic spices that came to define Moroccan cuisine. While there is no definitive Morocco Spice Route, the country’s most famed spices — among them cardamom, cinnamon and saffron— can be experienced today in gorgeous combinations that include ras el hanout spice blend and harissa paste as well as dishes like tagine stew.
