Our Story

A kitchen that travelled from Fez to Dubai

Nour El Fassia was born from a simple dream: to raise Moroccan cuisine to the same level of recognition as French, Italian, Indian or Japanese cuisine.

It is the story of a French entrepreneur and his wife, who grew up in Fez. From her mother, a renowned cook in Fez, she learned everything about traditional Moroccan cooking. After falling in love with Dubai on three visits, the couple decided to make their dream real and opened their restaurant at Marsa Al Seef, for everyone who loves the beauty and generosity of authentic Moroccan cuisine.

The Rituals of Moroccan Hospitality

01

The Hand-Washing Ritual

Before the meal, a server comes to your table with a silver ewer and basin. Fragrant water is poured gently over your hands, then a soft towel is offered. A centuries-old gesture of welcome and respect: before we share bread, we share a moment.

The Moroccan Tea Ceremony

Moroccan tea is poured from a height into patterned glasses, to build its delicate foam and release the aroma of fresh mint. It is the symbol of generosity in Morocco, and the sweet note on which every visit to Nour El Fassia ends.

Lovely food! The chicken is soft and juicy, and the service was attentive. It's right by the coast, so it feels relaxed: you can watch planes flying and boats passing by. Very relaxing.

You are welcomed without it ever feeling intrusive. The interior is inviting and beautiful, and the staff greet you with the same good feeling. It all began with a little Moroccan tradition after we ordered: a hand wash followed by rose water that gave our hands a lovely scent before the meal. A lovely meal and a lovely experience, with warm, down-to-earth service. Highly recommended, and we want to repeat the experience.
