Tetouan
This is where locals say za3za3 (zeh-zeh; meaning 'craziness') began. The owner decided to blend fruit with avocado and top it with nuts, dried fruit, hunks of fresh fruit and honey. Flan is often involved. Za3za3 was a hit and has since been copied in many variations all over Tetouan.
The original za3za3 joint is a 10-minute walk from Bab Al Okla, but you'll need to walk much longer if you plan to burn off those calories.
