Overview
Get the most out of Marrakech with this highlight-stuffed four-day adventure. Embark on a multi-day food experience that starts with you finding ingredients at the medina, before trying your hand at making tanjia, a tasty stew cooked in a terra cotta pot. But the food doesn’t stop there. Next, you’ll sample bread from a local bakery and then take a full-day trip to Ouzoud oasis and waterfall to cool off from the heat and enjoy lunch. And if you’re hungry for more adventure, you can combine this trip with one that visits the Sahara Desert or the country’s coast for the total Morocco experience.

Itinerary
Arrival day. Make your own way to the joining hotel before 2:30PM. After a welcome meeting the group will attend a cooking demonstration and learn how to make tanjia, a different form of tagine. We'll make the dish and seal it in the clay pot to cook overnight in the hamman. Then, explore the various food vendors in the Medina with your CEO and learn about the different ingredients. End the day with evening tea on the rooftop terrace overlooking the main square of Jemaa El Fnaa.
Accommodation:
Riad Chambres d'Amis Marrakesh
Included Experiences
- Welcome Meeting - Meet Your CEO and Group: Your opportunity to meet your CEO and fellow travellers, and learn more about your tour. Don't forget to see the notice in the lobby (or ask reception) for the official time and place to meet up with the group.
- Tanjia Cooking Class: Not to be confused with the popular tagine, "tanjia" is distinct to Marrakech and one of the best local experiences for any traveller. Learn the history and culture behind this dish, then head to the market to pick up a clay vessel called tanjia - which the dish is named after - and the ingredients you will need, traditionally some meat and spices. Drop off your tanjia at the neighbourhood "furan" or communal oven to have it cooked in the ashes that heat the nearby hammam. The next day, pick up your tanjia and enjoy a delicious meal with the group.
