- Tamsoult - Participate in a unique Moroccan cooking class and cultural experience in a tranquil Berber village near Taghazout. After meeting in Taghazout, the journey will continue together through the stunning mountains to the host’s family village, where the warm Berber hospitality awaits. The experience begins with the preparation of traditional Moroccan mint tea, using fresh mint picked directly from the family garden. This is a wonderful opportunity to relax, introduce everyone, and get acquainted. Following this, the hands-on cooking workshop will commence.

The highlight of our Moroccan trip – an unforgettable experience! - What an absolutely incredible experience! Without doubt, one of the highlights of our entire trip to Morocco.
Rabab is a truly inspirational woman, so passionate about keeping Moroccan traditions, history and authentic cooking methods alive. Her knowledge is fantastic, and she shares it all with such warmth, enthusiasm and humour.
Being welcomed into her family home in the mountains was really special. The whole family were so friendly, happy and welcoming, and we genuinely felt part of their world for a few hours. Even the cats added to the charm!
The cooking itself was brilliant. We learnt so much about traditional Moroccan ingredients, spices and techniques, and the food we prepared was absolutely delicious. We enjoyed it so much that we’ve even bought our own tagine to continue cooking Moroccan food at home!
This is so much more than just a cooking class. It’s a wonderful opportunity to experience authentic Moroccan culture, meet lovely local people and create some very special memories.
Rabab is an incredible woman doing something really worthwhile, and we feel lucky to have met her. We cannot recommend this experience highly enough. A massive thank you to Rabab and her lovely family. We absolutely loved every minute! ❤️🇲🇦

Great for families - I booked directly with Rabab after finding her via google AI. We were staying in a hotel in Taghazout and I wanted my family to experience the real Morocco and learn about the food, culture and its people.
Rabab’s cooking workshop was fantastic and will be something that my kids and I will never forget. It exceeded all expectations.
Rabab collected us from our hotel as we were the only group with her that morning. The taxi driver was excellent and took us carefully through the mountains to a village high up, approximately 30 mins from our hotel.
From there we learnt about Rabab, the women she works with, the Berbers, and the history of Moroccan culture.
We made tea, then bread, followed by our chicken tagine and then (our kids favourite) amlou. All were delicious and fun to make. Perfect for families.
I would recommend Rabat’s workshop to anyone, but in particular to families visiting Morocco that want to see how the locals live and want to step away from the comforts of their hotels for a short time while on their holiday.
The workshop ran like clockwork and her communication before and afterwards via WhatsApp was very clear.
Rabab is an entrepreneurial and clever person and we really appreciated her honestly, kindness and attentiveness. We’ll be sure to organise another one when we return to Taghazout.

Best cooking experience ever! - If you are looking for an engaging and authentic experience then Rabab is your plug. She is friendly, warm and bubbly. She works with the local ladies and also supports a children's charity.
Our hotel pick up was super efficient and after a short drive we arrived up in the mountains to her beautiful workshop.
We were taught how to make authentic green tea with variety of herbs and served with sweet treats. We made bread from scratch as well as some Amlou (almond, peanut spread with honey). We marinated our meat and even the veg prep for the tajine was a collaborative fun activity. The flavours of the final dish were better than I had eaten anywhere!
Anyhoo, this was an epic experience. Book now, its so worth it!

Best experience we had in Morocco. - Truly an amazing experience. Having an afternoon with Rabab and these incredible woman was an experience to remember. It was not rushed. It was authentic and warm and natural. I learned so much from them about their lives and customs and shared things from our culture. First we shared green tea with mint and sugar and freshly baked goods made by the ladies that morning. Then We made bread, prepared the tangine and made spread with almond, peanuts and honey. After all that we sat down and shared a meal together. Rabab speaks 6 languages and speaks amazing English. The other ladies did not speak English but it didn’t matter. They were warm and welcoming and Rabab translated when necessary. I would whole heartedly recommend this experience. The most authentic thing we did in Morocco!

Much more than a cooking class - This meeting, this sharing of cuisine, Moroccan traditions, culture, history of the country, was an incredible moment. We had the impression to cook with family, what happiness, we feasted.
Thank you Rabab for everything, and we wish you all the best for the future

When cooking become a whole experience. - I rarely (not to say never) write reviews but here the experience was just perfect. We went for a cooking class, we can back with way more than that. Rabab felt us welcome, she explained us the context, the history and the importance of her culture and her cooking. Within minutes, we felt like home and talking about a millions things other then cooking. But to reassure, the cooking itself was extremely satisfying and authentic. 20/20.

Authentic cooking experience in Berber village - Rabab collected us from the Mosque in Taghazout and we were driven for 15 minutes into a small Berber village in the hills. Rabab and her helpers welcomed us with a traditional Moroccan tea making ritual and homemade cakes. Then we went to a separate rustic area where we prepared a fish and a chicken tagine - chopping the vegetables, infusing the meat/fish with spices and then placing in the tagine for cooking. While the tagine cooked we made local bread from flour, semolina, yeast, and water. After lots of mixing and kneeding the dough, we then each baked our bread in the Berber oven. When ready we ate the bread and tagine. Rabab and her helpers were very friendly and engaging. An excellent experience. The only improvement would be the provision of bottled water which had been advertised.

An Authentic Cooking Experience in a Berber Village - From the moment we arrived in the village, we were welcomed with warmth and genuine hospitality. Rabab shared her deep knowledge of authentic, traditional Berber cooking, guiding us step-by-step through recipes that have been passed down for generations.
The setting itself is magical — cooking in the heart of a Berber village, surrounded by beautiful mountain views and the aroma of fresh herbs and spices. Everything was hands-on, from preparing the vegetables to learning the perfect balance of flavors.
It’s not just a cooking class, it’s a real cultural immersion — a chance to connect with local traditions, taste authentic dishes, and experience the joy of sharing a meal prepared with love. I left with a happy heart, a full stomach, and new skills I’ll treasure forever.
Highly recommended for anyone who wants more than just a meal — this is the true taste of Morocco!

- It is hard to put into words how amazing this experience is - this is an absolute must-do if you are visiting Taghazout.
Rabab is amazing. She is passionate, attentive and takes so much care in guiding you through preparing the most delicious food including tagine, bread and moroccan salad.
The experience of sharing the afternoon with Rabab and the helping berber ladies in a berber home, preparing and cooking the food outdoors with open flames and sharing the meal together afterwards was the most beautiful and authentic experience I have ever had. We felt so welcomed into the home and left feeling part of the family! The memories of this experience will stay with me forever and I am so grateful to Rabab for her hospitality and knowledge. We have already planned to cook tagine for our friends on our return home!
I could not recommend this experience more highly if you are looking for an authentic, immersive, intimate and memorable activity.
Thank you so much Rabab!

Great experience, thoroughly enjoyed. - This was a great cooking class. You are taken to a village in the hills. There is plenty of food and the people are kind. The only thing I would say was that our group felt too big. A smaller group would be better for this experience. Definitely recommend!
