Best cooking class in Marakech - There are many options for cooking classes in Marakech, but Amal's class is outstanding. A beautiful setting, an herb garden where you pick your own herbs to make delicious tea, and wonderful people doing wonderful work. Plus a delicious meal!

The best activity and the best food in Marrakesh - Fantastic experience. Can't recommend highly enough. Beautiful peaceful setting, charming people and ultimately the best food we have eaten on our trip. We did the lamb tagine with prunes and almonds and the fig and almond shortbread. Can't wait to try the recipes at home. Combine all this with a very well organised and well thought out charity supporting women to get out of poverty and you have a five star activity without a doubt. Book it now. Don't hesitate!

One Highlight of Morocco - This was a very special experience for me and my friends traveling together in Morocco. Not only was the cooking (and feasting) experience memorable, but the stories behind this project were inspiring! Thank you 🙏🏼

Immerse yourself in culinary Moroccan cuisine - We were here with our children, 17 and 18 years old. It was an entertaining morning with cooking, learning new things and coming into contact with another culture. With this course, we also contribute to a social contribution, for women and deaf people. A win-win situation

A great experience! - We had a wonderfull time cooking together with the Amal Teachers and learning a lot about culture, spices and meals. Also the group of people coming from different countries was nice. And our lemon chicken Tajine was very delicious.

A great experience with a great cause - I highly recommend this class, which also has a beautiful cause: empowering women who have faced difficulties. Sharing this time with other people was lovely, but doing so with the women working on this project made it wonderful. Thank you Ghita and the entire staff. They are all kind, respectful, and very fun, always smiling and answering any questions or needs. I was fortunate enough to learn how to make a lamb tagine with prunes and almonds, Ghryba almond cookies, and traditional mint tea. I also learned how to prepare couscous and pastilla just by watching other participants do it. I bought the recipe book and an apron to support this cause. What you get out of this experience is up to you: you give it your all and go with the flow, or you sit and wait for the dish to be ready (it can take more than an hour). I lived it intensely, spoke with many people, asked questions, and learned more about Morocco and its culture through cooking. I watched others cooking and enjoyed a delicious nous nous from the people who run the Sign Café, another wonderful project to empower deaf people.

The Most Special Experience - Simply the most beautiful 4 hours that we spent in Morocco. We went as a family - 2 adults and 2 kids - and the teachers were so amazing and patient with the kids fully involving them in everything, explaining every flavour and process! The work done by this organisation should be shared widely, they are a remarkable community that is doing something special in Marrakech.

Great class for a great cause - My partner and I visited Marakech during our recent trip to Morocco. We found the Amal center cooking classes while doing research, and were not disappointed! The non-profit does amazing work helping disadvantaged women learn the skills they need to be professional chefs. They offer cooking classes in their beautiful training center, and we made a vegetable tagine and handmade bread. The ingredients were fresh, and the instructions were clear. We were treated to a tea ceremony, and then enjoyed the food we cooked! We also got to learn more about the center’s work with disadvantaged women, the deaf community, and residents of the Atlas Mountains whose homes were destroyed in an earthquake. I would highly recommend taking their classes.
