Morocco price guide
How much does fresh orange juice cost in Morocco?
Morocco is famous for producing some of the sweetest, juiciest citrus in the Mediterranean, making freshly squeezed orange juice (Jus d'Orange Frais) an essential daily indulgence for locals and travelers alike. From the colorful numbered juice carts lining Marrakech's Jemaa el-Fnaa square to coastal juice stalls in Essaouira and traditional cafés in Fez, fresh orange juice is made to order year-round. It is widely enjoyed with breakfast alongside msemen or enjoyed as a quick, ice-cold refresh while navigating warm medina souks.

Typical amounts in MAD
Fresh orange juice is one of Morocco's best travel values. Prices vary depending on whether you drink standing at a street cart or sit down at a medina café:
Plain orange juice at iconic street carts costs as little as 5–8 MAD. Blended fruit juices (such as orange-avocado, orange-pomegranate, or orange-almond) cost between 15 and 25 MAD.
Tips for getting the best fresh orange juice in Morocco: • Watch it Being Squeezed: Make sure the vendor squeezes the oranges right in front of you into a clean, dry glass rather than pouring pre-squeezed juice from a pitcher. • No Added Water or Sugar: Moroccan oranges are naturally sweet. If you prefer pure juice, say 'Sans sucre, sans eau' (without sugar, without water). • Street CartEtiquette: On Jemaa el-Fnaa, vendors display prices clearly on their carts (usually 5 to 10 MAD). Always verify the price before ordering to avoid confusion over larger glass sizes. • Try Seasonal Citrus: During winter and spring (citrus peak season), order juice made from local Maroc Late or Valencia oranges for maximum flavor.
At famous outdoor market squares like Jemaa el-Fnaa in Marrakech or Grand Socco in Tangier, street carts sell plain orange juice for 5 to 8 MAD ($0.45–$0.75 EUR). Local dairy bars (mahlabas) charge 10 to 12 MAD. Sit-down tourist cafés, rooftop riad bars, and fine dining establishments charge 15 to 25 MAD ($1.40–$2.30 EUR) due to higher overhead and table service.

Grabbing a glass of cold, freshly squeezed orange juice from a street stall is one of Morocco's iconic sensory experiences. At under $1 USD per glass, it is an affordable way to stay hydrated while walking through the souks.
A useful rule when comparing private guide prices
Ask for a takeaway plastic cup ('Aemporté') if you want to walk through the souks while drinking.
Try orange juice blended with avocado (Jus d'Avocat à l'Orange) for a thick, velvety Moroccan smoothie.
If you have a sensitive stomach, ask for no added ice cubes ('sans glaçons').
Pair with fresh Msemen flatbread or Harcha semolina cake for an authentic 20 MAD ($2 USD) Moroccan breakfast.
Budget 5 to 10 MAD ($0.50–$1 USD / $0.45–$0.90 EUR) per glass for street stall juice. If drinking at sit-down tourist cafés or riad terraces, allow 15 to 25 MAD ($1.50–$2.50 USD / $1.40–$2.30 EUR) per glass.
