The place and the service from Haya and her mother were truly spectacular. The interaction and knowledge of Moroccan culture and gastronomy were enriching. Preparing tea, tagine, and even grocery shopping is truly a good experience. We loved the time that both the mother and daughter dedicate to teaching you how to prepare local-style dishes, tea, and bread!! If you have the time, I suggest you take this experience; the time you dedicate to truly learning more about this culture through its gastronomy is worth more. And of course, the dishes turned out delicious thanks to their support and help in the kitchen. The place is 100% worth it, but the people are incredible!! 👍🙂 💕
What a fun, educational experience. Enjoy cooking and talking. Learning about Moroccan eating and living culture. This in the intimate and beautiful environment of the family riad. Cooking together and eating together. This was beautiful. Thanks Hachar!
We had an amazing cooking class experience with Hadja and her family. It was such a special day for our group. We really felt so welcome and appreciated all the special touches for our group. I will never forget Hadja's mother and the special connection we shared during our time.
My son and I had the best experience in the cooking class with Hajar. Ee started at the local market, where we bought the grosseries for the dinner. After that Hajar introduced us with a Moroccan tea ceremony. Then ee made delicious Tajin with chicken and different vegetables and spices, we made a fresh salat, a dish made of grilled eggplants and a delicate orange dessert. Overall an exceptional experience I can highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Taking the cooking class with Hajar was one of the highlights of my trip to Morocco. The class started with a visit to the local market. Back at Hajar's - and her house has a wonderful atmosphere! - we learned how to prepare a classic chicken tagine with preserved lemons, spices, vegetables and olives, a tasty sauce and a delicious orange cake. We also enjoyed traditional pastry prepared by Hajar's mother that are normally eaten during Ramadan. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly, and the aromas filling the courtyard were unforgettable. I left with a deeper appreciation of Moroccan hospitality. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Marrakesh.
I had the most amazing cooking class experience in the heart of the Marrakech Kasbah with Hajar! From the moment we arrived, she welcomed us with warmth and Moroccan hospitality. Hajar made every step of the cooking process fun, easy, and full of tips about Moroccan cuisine. We prepared traditional dishes from scratch, including fresh breads, tagines, and desserts, and enjoyed authentic Moroccan mint tea along the way. The hands-on experience, combined with the beautiful Kasbah setting, made it truly unforgettable. By the end of the class, not only did we have a delicious meal, but we also learned so much about Moroccan culture and culinary traditions. Highly recommended—Hajar is an incredible host!
Amazing experience with wonderful women! Truely recomend to spend time with locals, feel vibe of local market, prepare tajin with help of Hazar and her aunt. The best time spent in Marrakesh
Excellent experience. The person who picked us up and guided us through these 3 hours was incredibly kind. She explained many things to us and had us prepare truly delicious food. She was very welcoming, and the house where we had this experience, with its beautiful inner garden, was truly stunning. It was a wonderful experience that I would recommend to everyone—it's far from the usual activities and truly worth doing. Moreover, our host has enviable linguistic skills.
We had an amazing cooking class in Marrakech with locals, and it was truly one of the highlights of our trip! From shopping for fresh ingredients in the local market to preparing traditional Moroccan dishes, everything was authentic, fun, and well explained. The hosts, two sisters, were incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming. We learned how to make delicious tagine, fresh salads, and of course, traditional Moroccan mint tea. The atmosphere felt like cooking with family, not like a tourist activity. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a real cultural experience in Marrakech! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
