This city laneway is channeling a little Casablanca this weekend.

Overview

The sights, sounds and flavours of Morocco are coming to Melbourne this Sunday. The latest endeavour from the team at Gallery One Three, Marrakech Magic Melbourne will see a laneway in the CBD transformed into an exotic North African marketplace complete with live entertainment, fortune telling and a smorgasbord of tasty Moroccan cuisine.

This pop-up Casablanca, located just off Little Bourke Street, will be open for business from midday on January 25. Wander down at lunchtime and savour the aroma of exotic herbs and spices, before gorging yourself on sizzling Moroccan BBQ served with couscous and vegetable tagine.

Afterwards, relax on plush Moroccan pillows and listen to the sounds of the city, filtered through a fusion of Moroccan electro, jazz and tabla. Those looking to immerse themselves a little further can get their future told via a coffee cup reading, or even get decorative with a traditional Henna tattoo.
