Great experience! I recommend it!! - We had a great time during this cooking class, we learned how to prepare a traditional tagine with plenty of explanations about Moroccan spices, in a friendly atmosphere! Ahmed and Zacharie were incredibly kind. The meal enjoyed at the end was delicious. Thanks to them, I recommend it 100%!

Our favourite thing in Marrakesh! - If I could give this class 10 stars, I would! Food was amazing, hospitality was top shelf, and both Zackaria and Azzeddine were fantastic. They answered all of our questions, told us very interesting stories about Moroccan history, and also had a great sense of humour. It exceeded our expectations! Truly! Thank you so much for a wonderful meal and conversation.

Absolutely wonderful and engaging cooking class - Oh my word! This cooking class is 10 out of 5 stars recommended. Fatima and Zakaria were absolutely stunning hosts and treated us like family from the get go. The food was absolutely delicious , meal prep very organised and atmosphere was relaxing, friendly and easy. Highly highly highly recommend. Thank you for a truly beautiful experience.
Only note is- meeting point can be tricky to find so allow plenty of time. Taxis will not get you there as you need to walk to it- all part of the authentic Moroccan experience.

Cooking with Abdo - Activity chosen for a family moment in the company of locals. We were welcomed by Zekaria, then Ahmed joined us to start the activity. The 2 cousins make an irresistible duo! Hospitality, warmth, great open-mindedness, and humor. Ahmed is a good teacher and takes his time to give instructions and a few keys to better understand Moroccan culture. Zekaria, for his part, is the source of laughter. The meal was delicious: Moroccan salad, lemon chicken tagine, kefta and egg tagine, and cinnamon oranges for dessert, which we prepared ourselves and then enjoyed: a real treat. Finally, we learned how to make and serve Moroccan tea while respecting the codes of local customs. In short, the time was fun, the meal delicious, the company excellent, and the moment of sharing memorable. I highly recommend it and will return if I go back to Morocco. Ahmed and Zekaria, thank you a thousand times!

Would do it again anytime!!! - We cooked individually with Abdo. He not only introduced us to Moroccan cuisine but also told us a lot about the country and its people. It was a great experience and is definitely recommended.

One of our Favourite Activities! - My husband and I loved this experience with Zachariah and Azzedine! We both had a lot of fun and enjoyed talking with them both. We were a small group with only one other duo who were French-speaking, but I was amazed at their ability to seamlessly integrate three languages so no one felt left out of any part of the conversation. We enjoyed our conversations and the class was not too difficult but we learned a lot about traditional food. They sent us the recipes afterwards and we even bought a tagine to recreate the dishes ourselves! I would really recommend this to others.

Best experience in Marrakesh! - The cooking hosts were incredibly genuine and amicable during the class. It didn’t feel touristy at all, but we still felt like we received a well rounded experience of Moroccan cuisine and culture. Everything was also very clean and organized. I would 100% recommend!

A great, shorter class - This was a great cooking class! The staff were lovely, it was air conditioned, not too long, and the food was delicious. I made vegan dishes alongside meat eaters which was great for me.
They guides/chefs made it fun with guessing games and a tea pouring contest! They were very knowledgeable, and chatty. Fatimah was especially lovely!
Didn’t give five stars only because there were some bits that they did for us while we watched. Hopefully they’ll see this and change that. I wanted to get more involved!
We had to climb some stairs to get inside - not sure if there was an elevator.
