Join the Orange Blossom Moussem at Les Jardins de la Médina on April 6, 2025, from 11am to 3pm.
The Zahria of Marrakech, also known as the Orange Blossom Moussem, is back! This eagerly awaited event marks the arrival of spring with the blooming of white flowers on orange and bitter orange trees, filling the city with an enchanting fragrance.
Throughout the medina, excitement is in the air as the women of Marrakech carefully prepare for the distillation of orange blossom water. As soon as the first buds appear, families bring out their traditional copper stills and gather around this centuries-old ritual, creating moments of sharing and conviviality.
Jaafer el Kanssousi, President of the Al Muniya Association of Marrakech, explains:
“Our association has developed an innovative cultural approach that transforms a private family ritual into a major public, cultural, and festive event in the city. This event integrates scientific, artisanal, literary, heritage, and musical dimensions, making it a beloved tradition for Marrakchis for over a decade. The goal is to establish a Moussem that celebrates the arrival of spring in Marrakech.”
The Zahria of Marrakech is more than just a floral festival—it is an ode to beauty, joy, and the warm hospitality that defines the Red City. By celebrating the orange blossom, Marrakech reaffirms its deep connection to its heritage and invites visitors to immerse themselves in a unique sensory experience.
