A totally amazing experience. The teacher and the organizer were very engaging, kind and welcoming. With the basic calligraphy skills came a wealth of knowledge about variety of writing styles, calligraphy tools, Arabic alphabet. Practicing writing so opened my hidden creative self that I wish I had more time to spend there. As a bonus Morad played some gnawa music for me, which was a great treat. Strongly recommend this or any classes offered by this provider.
Fabulous experience, very artistic, but still within everyone s reach, very good Welcoming, the and pastry, but above all great patience of the artist who guided me to get a calm and applied gesture, for a rendering of which I am very proud. Thank you for this wonderful meeting.

A real moment suspended in time. Young and old alike let themselves be carried by the magic of gestures, focused on applying themselves while enjoying the pleasure of creating. Between laughter, discoveries and studious silence, we have tasted the moment, guided by the art and patience of our host. An experience that will remain etched... in ink and in our hearts. 💙
Exceptional activity and hospitality, in a charming setting. Great moment of relaxation between learning, mint tea and artisan cookies, to finish with a breathtaking 360° view of Chefchaouen. Exceptional moment.

This traditional calligraphy class in Chefchaouen was an unexpected highlight of our trip to Morocco. Mourad invited us into his family home, his family served tea, and we had took the class on a beautiful rooftop overlooking the blue city. The instructor was a skilled Arabic artist who was very patient as he taught us the Moroccan and Turkish styles of calligraphy. We practiced individual letters, then our full names, were able to take home the writings and the carved pen. I’m so impressed by the beauty and skill of the historical styles. Really enjoyed this class and got some great videos of the experience, too. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're happy the calligraphy class was a highlight of your trip. It was a pleasure to welcome you and share this beautiful art on the rooftop. We’re glad you enjoyed the experience and hope to see you again someday in Chefchaouen!
