Participants will:

• Select their own organic ingredients, freshly picked from the garden just before cooking
• Bake traditional Moroccan bread in a wood-fired clay oven, following age-old methods
• Learn to prepare three authentic dishes — tajine, couscous, and homemade bread — under the guidance of a local Moroccan chef
• Relax in a swimming pool with breathtaking views of the Atlas Mountains, a unique feature for Marrakech cooking classes
• Enjoy the tranquility by the river in a serene countryside environment, offering a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of Marrakech

This is more than just a class — it’s a complete sensory experience: taste, culture, nature, and relaxation, all in a half-day excursion just outside the city.
