Traveler's Marrakech Street Food Challenge Goes Viral, Sparks Debate on Tourist Pricing
Marrakech, Morocco – A recent viral video by traveler Oliver Atlas, known online as Oli.Atlas, has captured the attention of food enthusiasts and travel buffs alike, documenting his adventurous culinary journey through the bustling streets of Marrakech. Atlas challenged himself to sample various local street foods until, as he playfully put it, 'something makes me sick.' During his exploration, Atlas indulged in a vibrant multi-fruit juice, which he described as "incredible" and costing approximately €1. He then tried a spicy chicken empanada, noting its good taste despite the heat, priced at €2.50. A unique discovery was the "handilla," a fruit from a cactus, which he likened to a less flavorful melon and purchased for €0.50. His final culinary stop was for freshly pressed sugarcane juice, a sweet, syrupy drink that cost €2. The video, uploaded on July 28, 2025, has garnered over 424,400 views, sparking a lively discussion in the comments section. While many viewers expressed amusement and interest in his adventure, some local commentators pointed out potential overcharging for tourists. One user remarked, "amigo te han timado,un zumo vale 5 dirhams," suggesting the juice price was inflated. Another commented on the empanada price, stating, "Como que una brewa 2,50€ 25DH si yo la compro por 6DH o 10DH como mucho." Despite these comments, Atlas concluded his video by confirming he had "survived" the day without any adverse effects, promising more culinary adventures if he continued to feel well. The video offers an engaging, albeit personal, look at Marrakech's street food culture.
