  • 5The Best welcoming family

    Wow! One of the best experiences I’ve ever had a Viator. We had a group of 5, met Yassir at the market, we shopped . We went a little overboard because we had 5 people. We went to his house and was welcomed by his family. His mother included us in the prep work. Learned local customs and few cool cooking tips!. Some people might think it would be a little awkward to be that close with the family, but is was not! Felt nothing but welcome. The kicker the food we made was fantastic!

  • 5Very authentic and local

    It is one a kind experience where you will cook and eat at somebody’s house and experience as they live. It is charming, authentic and real. So be prepared to experience how local Moroccans live.

  • 5An authentic cultural experience.

    This was a wonderful cooking class that finished with a delicious home cooked meal. It was also an authentic cultural experience. Yassir provided information and answers to our questions in good English and translated for his mother as she led us through the making of a tangine and kefta dish. It was a privilege to be invited into their home and to eat at their table.

  • 5Fabulous afternoon of cooking

    This experience was wonderful. Yassir spoke amazing English and was very happy to answer any questions we had about the culture, country and Chefchaouen. It was a pleasure to meet his family and be welcomed into their home. We learnt how to cook the most delicious tangine which was tastier than anything else we’ve eaten in Morocco so far. A great experience

  • 5Great experience

    We had a wonderful evening with Yassir and his family. We made mint tea and then a tagine. Everything was delicious, and we got to chat with Yassir, who speaks French very well. It’s a great opportunity to learn more about Moroccan culture and how to cook a delicious tagine. I highly recommend it!

About Chefchaouen

Chefchaouen is a mountain town in northern Morocco whose old medina is washed in blue, set among the Rif hills with hiking trails nearby.

Chefchaouen was founded in 1471 as a small fortress against Portuguese raids and grew when Muslim and Jewish refugees from Spain settled here. Its old town, the medina, is a maze of steep lanes and houses washed in shades of blue, with painted doors and pots of flowers. The main square, Plaza Uta el-Hammam, is dominated by the red-walled kasbah and the Great Mosque with its octagonal minaret.
