Accommodation

Night 1: Overnight in Marrakech

Your culinary adventure begins as the sun sets and the city’s main stage comes to life. Your expert food guide will lead you on an immersive street food tour of Jemaa el-Fna square. This is not just a tasting tour; it’s a cultural deep dive. You’ll learn the stories behind the food, sampling a variety of iconic dishes from sizzling grilled meats and spicy merguez to steaming bowls of snail soup and sweet, sticky pastries, all in the square’s electrifying atmosphere.The journey continues with a dedicated visit to the spice souks. Far from a standard glance, this is a hands-on sensory experience.

Day 2

Accommodation

Night 1: Overnight in Marrakech

After a riad breakfast, you will be welcomed into a traditional Marrakech home or a dedicated cooking school for a full-day, hands-on cooking class. The day begins with a visit to a local market or a nearby organic farm with the chef to select the freshest ingredients for your feast.Returning to the kitchen, you will be guided through the creation of a classic Moroccan menu. This typically includes learning the secrets of making the perfect tagine (slow-cooked stew), crafting a fresh salad with seasonal produce, and preparing a flavorful main course. The grand finale is learning to make Msemen (flaky flatbread) or another traditional bread.The reward for your hard work is enjoying the magnificent, multi-course lunch you prepared, accompanied by local beverages. The afternoon and evening are free to relax, digest, and perhaps put your new knowledge to the test by exploring more food spots at your leisure.

Day 3

Marrakech

Escape the city for a taste of rural Moroccan life. We take a short, scenic drive to the Ourika Valley in the foothills of the High Atlas Mountains. Here, you will be welcomed into a local Berber family’s home for an authentic cooking experience.Unlike a formal class, this is about participation and observation. You’ll help the family prepare a traditional Berber lunch, which might include baking bread in a clay oven, harvesting vegetables from their garden, and learning the simpler, earthier cooking techniques of the mountains. The highlight is sharing the delicious, home-cooked meal with your hosts, enjoying their hospitality and stories.After lunch, you may take a short, gentle walk to a nearby waterfall to appreciate the stunning scenery before beginning the return journey to Marrakech. The tour concludes in the late afternoon, leaving you with not just memories, but lasting culinary skills and a deeper connection to Moroccan culture.
