What to expect

Berber family house in the Atlas Mountains

Your experience centers around a cooking class in a Berber family house, where everyday life unfolds around you in the mountain village setting.

Features

• During the cooking class in a Berber family house, you learn how a traditional dish is prepared, following the techniques of a local grandmother and hearing about her customs and daily routines. This is your chance to experience the traditions and flavors of Berber cuisine in the place where they are actually cooked and shared.
• A 3-course lunch is served in the family home, so you can taste the dishes you have helped prepare while learning more about Berber culture and how recipes are passed down through generations. Coffee or tea is included with your meal, rounding off the lunch in the relaxed setting of the family house.
• Your expert guide, who also serves as your local guide, is with you throughout the visit, helping you communicate with the family and explaining the context behind ingredients, cooking methods, and household rituals.
• Hotel pickup and drop-off are included as part of your round-trip transfers from Marrakech, and you travel in an air-conditioned vehicle for comfort between the city and the Atlas Mountains. Bottled water is not included, so you can bring your own if you wish.
