Description

This workshop offers a truly unique experience — a chance to step inside a living piece of Moroccan history. Guided by the last traditional mule saddle craftsman of Chefchaouen, you’ll not only watch but create with your own hands, using the same natural materials and ancient techniques passed down for centuries. Set in a 16th-century Fendak in the heart of the Rif Mountains, this activity combines culture, craftsmanship, and human connection. You’ll spend 2 hours hands-on, learning weaving, shaping, and assembling techniques that few ever experience. Enjoy Moroccan tea and local stories while connecting with a craft that has defined village life for generations. By participating, you’re helping preserve a vanishing art, supporting a local artisan, and leaving with a deep cultural understanding and a memorable, one-of-a-kind experience that goes far beyond a standard workshop.
