Your experience begins with a warm Moroccan welcome, a glass of traditional mint tea, a symbol of hospitality in Morocco, served before you set off on your culinary adventure. From there, enjoy a private guided walk through Marrakech's vibrant souks, where the sights, sounds, and scents of Morocco come alive. Your host will lead you through narrow alleyways filled with colorful spice mounds, fresh produce, and local vendors, helping you select the fresh ingredients you'll use to prepare your own Moroccan meal. From the souk, you'll head to a traditional riad, where your cooking class begins in a warm, authentic setting. Under the guidance of a local host, you'll learn how to prepare authentic Moroccan dishes from scratch, such as a traditional tagine, couscous, or other classic Moroccan recipes, discovering the traditional techniques, spice blends, and family secrets passed down through generations.
