Wonderful experience
They were prompt in meeting me. He showed me around including the community oven. The house and kitchen/dining areas were very clean. They gave me an apron to wear while we cooked. I really enjoyed the instructions, putting the tagine together and understandinghow important symmetry is to Moroccan cooking. The food turned out excellent, and we enjoyed eating together. The most fun was learning how to mske and pour Moroccan tea. Thank you for your hospitality, and making us feel like part of the family. I'd be thrilled to do it again next time I travel to Marrakech.
Operator response
Thank you so much for these kind words!
We loved having you with us, and it was a joy sharing the tagine making, the tea ceremony, and of course the community oven visit.
Making you feel part of the family is exactly what this experience is about. Can't wait to welcome you back next time you're in Marrakech!🙏🏽
