On February 14, 2024, Faustina Serwaa Agyeman Tuffour, a Ghanaian entrepreneur renowned for her work in beauty and fashion, welcomed a group of international tourists to an unforgettable dinner in Marrakech, Morocco.
Held in a traditional riad adorned with intricate tiles and lanterns, the event offered a deep dive into Moroccan culture, blending exquisite cuisine with warm hospitality. The gathering of 25 tourists, hailing from countries across Europe, North America, and Asia, enjoyed a menu featuring Moroccan staples such as lamb tagine, vegetable couscous, and honey-drizzled pastilla.
Live Gnawa music filled the air, enhancing the ambiance as guests savored their meals under the starry Marrakech sky. Faustina, who took on the dual role of organizer and host, aimed to create a cultural bridge for her guests.
“This dinner was about sharing Morocco’s soul—its flavors, sounds, and traditions,” she said. “I wanted every guest to feel like they were part of something special.”
Collaborating with local chefs and musicians, she ensured authenticity at every turn, from the handwoven rugs on the floor to the mint tea served at the evening’s close.
Tourists lauded the event’s intimate feel and Faustina’s engaging presence. “It wasn’t just a meal; it was an experience,” said one attendee from Canada.
The dinner, part of a broader push to boost cultural tourism in Morocco, underscored Faustina’s growing reputation as a skilled host with a knack for creating meaningful connections.
