€35/
Per PersonOVERVIEW
Join a Marrakech cooking class combining ingredient shopping in the Bab Doukkala souk, hands-on preparation and the shared meal you cook.
Discover Moroccan cooking through a market visit and a hands-on class in the Marrakech medina. Begin in the Bab Doukkala area, shop for ingredients in the nearby souk and continue to a riad kitchen.
A tea demonstration introduces the session before preparing a starter, a chicken or vegetable tagine and dessert. The class ends with a shared meal of the dishes prepared. Menus can vary; allergies and dietary requirements should be discussed before booking.
DESCRIPTION – Marrakech Moroccan Cooking Class
The cooking class connects a Bab Doukkala market visit with hands-on preparation and the shared meal that follows. Selecting ingredients with the guide gives context to the products used in the workshop rather than beginning only with pre-prepared dishes.
Moroccan mint tea introduces the cooking stage, then the instructor leads the group through the preparation sequence. Ingredients, cooking guidance and the meal prepared during the class are included.
Allow approximately three and a half hours for the experience and reach the confirmed meeting point independently. Hotel transfers are not included. Share dietary requirements before the booking is confirmed so they can be considered when planning the session.

Planning Your Marrakech Cooking Class
This cooking class connects the market ingredients to the meal you prepare, rather than offering only a restaurant demonstration. Start at the confirmed Bab Doukkala meeting point and allow time to find it on foot. The souk visit is part of the experience before you move to the kitchen.
During the cooking class, follow the instructor through the starter, tagine and dessert programme, with the prepared meal shared at the end. The menu can vary, so the exact dishes should follow your session confirmation. Explain allergies or dietary requirements before booking and wait for the team’s response; a vegetable option alone does not establish that every dietary need can be accommodated.

Itinerary for Marrakech Moroccan Cooking Class
Meet your guide at the confirmed Bab Doukkala location near the mosque area. The class begins in the neighbourhood rather than with a hotel pickup, so allow enough time to reach the meeting point independently. The introduction explains the workshop sequence and provides a moment to discuss any dietary requirements already shared with the team. The experience combines a market visit, hands-on preparation and the meal that follows, within approximately three and a half hours.
Visit the souk with the guide to select ingredients for the cooking session. Looking at the produce, herbs and spices in their market setting helps connect the workshop with everyday Moroccan food shopping rather than beginning only at a prepared worktop. The ingredients for the class are included. Ask questions about the products and how they will be used, while keeping personal shopping separate from the workshop purchases. The final dishes follow the session's programme and available ingredients.
Begin the workshop with Moroccan mint tea, then follow the cook through the preparation of the meal. The session is hands-on, with the instructor explaining the practical sequence and guiding the participants as the dishes take shape. Work at the cook's pace, use the equipment as instructed and ask about any technique you would like explained. Ingredients and cooking instruction are included. Dietary needs should be agreed before the booking is confirmed rather than left until the meal is already being prepared.
Sit down to taste the dishes prepared during the workshop. This final part of the class connects the market choices and cooking stages with a shared meal, with time to enjoy what the group has made. The meal is included in the experience. The session ends after the class rather than with a hotel transfer, leaving you to continue your Marrakech plans independently. Personal purchases outside the workshop remain separate.
