Step beyond the restaurants and dive into the real Moroccan kitchen! This immersive 4-hour culinary journey begins with a vital cultural experience: a one-hour guided shopping trip through the bustling local souk (market). You'll hand-select the freshest vegetables, spices, and your choice of meat or chicken—the very ingredients for your meal.

From the market, you will be welcomed into the tranquil setting of a traditional Moroccan house (Riad). Here, your Master Chef will guide you through the preparation of a complete, authentic 3-course meal. Learn the secrets of the legendary Tagine, master the art of Moroccan salads, and uncover the spice blends that define this world-famous cuisine.
