The best experience we had in Zagora and Morocco.

It was the best experience we had in Zagora and Morocco in general, more than perfect hosts Zahra, Walid, and Ibrahim, with fresh quality products and impeccable hygiene, thank you very much.

Extraordinary

Very good time shared with Ibrahim visiting the big souk on Sunday then extraordinary sharing with Zahara who guided us to cook an excellent couscous! Generous hosts, a human stopover and cut off from time with simplicity and warmth! Thank you!

excellent cooking experience

Der Kochkurs ist eine super Erfahrung für mich gewesen, Zara macht die beste Tajine und ich bin froh dass ich jetzt weiß wie ich diese Zuhause nachmachen kann:) Ich habe viel über die Marokkanische Küche aber auch Kultur erfahren, was ich super interessant fand. Außerdem war es wunderschön zu sehen wieviel Liebe und Mühe hinter den Gerichten steckt die Zara kocht, ich bin dankbar dass ich daran Teil haben durfte. Beim nächsten Mal will ich mir gerne zeigen lassen wie man Couscous macht 😋😋
