This experience provides a unique insight into genuine Berber life, away from the usual tourist paths, nestled in the serene Azzaden Valley of the High Atlas Mountains. Unlike standard cooking classes, participants will join a real Berber family in their home, rather than a staged kitchen, to learn traditional recipes handed down through generations.

Participants will engage in making Berber bread and a homemade tagine or couscous, while sharing stories, laughter, and traditions with their hosts. The day combines hands-on cooking with cultural immersion, including wearing traditional attire, visiting a village with historical significance, and strolling alongside rivers and orchards.

With a small group and personalized attention, this is more than just a tour — it’s a heartfelt connection to Moroccan heritage, flavors, and landscapes that few travelers have the opportunity to experience.
