What to expect

Immerse yourself in the culinary traditions of Morocco with an authentic, hands-on cooking in Marrakech. This is not just a lesson in cooking—it’s a cultural exchange and a journey into Moroccan hospitality.

You’ll begin your experience by joining your host to explore a local market (souk), where you’ll learn about traditional ingredients, fragrant spices, and seasonal produce. With baskets in hand, you’ll select the freshest items to prepare your meal.

Back in the kitchen—a charming riad courtyard or family home—you’ll be guided step-by-step through the preparation of:

  • Chicken or lamb tagine with preserved lemons and olives
  • Vegetable couscous or zaalouk (eggplant salad)
  • Moroccan bread (khobz) baked the traditional way
  • Mint tea ceremony—learn the art of pouring and serving Morocco’s signature drink

As your dishes slowly cook, your host will share stories about Moroccan culinary customs, regional variations, and the importance of food in Moroccan family life. Finally, you’ll sit down together to enjoy the meal you prepared, surrounded by the local hospitality.

Private full-day tour of Essaouira with a local guide and lunch

Private full-day tour of Essaouira with a local guide and lunch

Arriving in the port city of Essaouira feels like taking a deep breath by the Atlantic. Inside its stone walls, life moves at a calm, relaxed pace. You hear gulls above you, see fishing boats moving gently in the harbour and listen to craftsmen working behind wooden doors. As local guide Youssef likes to say, “Essaouira has a rhythm of its own — once you feel it, you slow down without even noticing.” This is a place shaped by the sea, trade and creativity, where it's easy to lose track of time wandering streets that have barely changed in decades.With your local guide leading the way, you'll get to know the city beyond first impressions. You'll visit the busy port, the municipal market, the jewellers' quarter and the artisanal centre – each place helping you understand a different part of Essaouira's background. Your guide will share more insights along the way, bringing the medina's past and present to life.After lunch at a fish restaurant in the medina, the afternoon is yours to enjoy. You can browse small art galleries, watch artisans carving local thuya wood, or stop for a glass of mint tea at an argan cooperative, where you'll learn how the oil is made and how your visit supports local women and their families. By the time you leave, Essaouira won't feel just a destination you've seen, but a place you've genuinely spent time in.

This mish-mash of markets – known locally as souks – has bagged UNESCO World Heritage Site status. You'll kick things off here with a visit to the artisan quarter, which includes a stop at a Berber pharmacy where you'll learn all about some of Morocco's natural herbs and oils. You'll have lunch somewhere in the medina, as well, before carrying on around the medina. There's an optional shopping stop here, too, if you want to stock up on souvenirs.Last but not least, you'll head over to Jemaa el Fna, a city plaza that's so impressive UNESCO has given it their seal of approval since 2001.
