One of my favourite in our holiday - We had an absolutely amazing holiday in Morocco—definitely one of my all-time favourites—and the evening cooking experience with abdou and his cousin was a real highlight. Abdou is such a warm, genuine, and welcoming host. He guided us through preparing two delicious traditional tagines: one chicken, lemon, and olive, and one with beef meatballs. We also enjoyed traditional mint tea, but the real standout was the conversation. Chatting with abdou and his cousin about life in Marrakesh and the modern Moroccan way of life was fascinating and gave us such a rich insight into the culture. Highly recommended for anyone who is interested in learning about Moroccan kitchen and culture.

One of the best experiences in Marrakesh - Our cooking class with ABDO in Marrakech was a perfect highlight of our trip. He welcomed us warmly, spoke excellent English, and made everything easy to follow. We loved the hands-on experience and the cultural stories he shared while we cooked. The meal we made together was incredibly delicious, and sharing it as a family was a special joy. We left with great memories, new skills, and a deeper love for Moroccan cuisine. Highly recommend ABDO for a fun, authentic, and memorable experience in Marrakech! Thank you, ABDO!

Thanks ABDO - Our family had the wonderful opportunity to join ABDO for a cooking class during our stay in Marrakesh, and it easily became one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we arrived, ABDO welcomed us with such warmth and made us feel right at home. His exceptional English made communication effortless, allowing for an engaging and personal experience throughout the class. He didn’t just teach us recipes—ABDO shared fascinating insights into Moroccan culture, the history behind each dish, and practical tips we’ve already started using back in our own kitchens. The hands-on approach was perfect for our whole family; everyone participated, and ABDO skillfully made each of us feel included and confident as we cooked. His kindness, patience, and clear passion for Moroccan cuisine were evident in every step of the process. The meal we prepared together was absolutely delicious, and sitting down to enjoy the fruits of our labor made the experience even more special. We left with full stomachs, new cooking skills, cherished memories, and a deeper appreciation for Moroccan food and hospitality. If you’re visiting Marrakesh, we wholeheartedly recommend taking a class with ABDO. It’s a truly authentic and enriching experience that offers so much more than just cooking. We can’t recommend him highly enough! Thank you, ABDO, for such a memorable and delightful day!
