Highlights

With the guidance of your native host, you'll step into the beating heart of Marrakech's culinary tradition — the bustling souk, where centuries of trade and flavor come alive. Together, you'll wander through spice stalls piled high with cumin, saffron, and cinnamon, handpicking the exact ingredients that will become your meal. Then, inside the peaceful courtyard of a traditional riad, you'll be welcomed into a real Moroccan kitchen to learn the techniques passed down through generations. Under expert guidance, you'll prepare 5 authentic dishes from scratch, discovering the stories, spices, and secrets behind Morocco's most beloved recipes. This isn't just a cooking class — it's a genuine, hands-on connection to Moroccan culture, family tradition, and the art of hospitality that defines this country.

About Marrakech

At the foot of the Atlas Mountains, red-walled Marrakech is famed for its maze-like medina, lively main square and tranquil riads and gardens.

Jemaa el-Fnaa, the great square at the centre of the medina, changes character through the day, from juice sellers and snake charmers in the morning to smoke-wreathed food stalls and musicians after dark. The minaret of the Koutoubia Mosque rises nearby as the city's landmark, and the souks spread north in a warren of lanes selling leather, lanterns, carpets and spices.

Top-ranked sights in Marrakech: Atlas Mountains, Tizi-n'Tichka Pass, Jemaa el-Fna (Djemaa el-Fna).
