Moroccan Food Tour

Day 1 - Coast First

Arrive at Marrakech airport where your driver will meet you and take you straight to the coast. Your base for the first few days is Kasbah d’Eau, in a small beachside village just south of Essaouira. It’s a wonderful place to relax and ease into the rhythm of Moroccan rural life.

Day 2 - Chef's Souk Tour & Cooking Class in Essaouira

This morning, head into the colourful souks of Essaouira for a market-to-plate cooking experience. The workshop starts at 10:30 AM and lasts around two and a half to three hours. You’ll prepare authentic Moroccan dishes using fresh ingredients, followed by a leisurely lunch of everything you’ve helped cook.

The experience includes:

• Guided tour of the food and spice market
• Hands-on cooking class
• Delicious lunch
• All non-alcoholic drinks

A fantastic way to understand local flavours and cooking techniques during your Moroccan food tour.

Day 3 - Berber Lunch

Today is all about Moroccan hospitality. Visit a traditional Berber house for a relaxed lunch and gain insight into a different way of life. We encourage you to go without an interpreter and simply enjoy the warm welcome.

This is also a small working farm, and after lunch, you may opt for a short tour to see how argan oil, a regional speciality, is made.

Day 4 - Camel Picnic

Enjoy your last day on the coast with a camel picnic (camels are your transport, not the menu!). Your camel will collect you from the kasbah garden and you’ll head up the coast for about an hour. Your host will prepare and serve a traditional Moroccan picnic, complete with the ever-present mint tea – yes, even on a picnic.

For your final evening on the coast, we suggest a relaxed dinner in Essaouira or at the charming Le Kaouki, just a short stroll from Kasbah d’Eau.

Day 5 - Explore Marrakech

Transfer this morning to Riad Dar Rocmarra in the heart of Marrakech’s Medina. There’s nothing fixed for today, but we recommend an afternoon sidecar ride to explore the lesser-known corners of the city, from historic sites to hidden souks.

In the evening, choose from dining at the riad, enjoying the lively Le Comptoir, or sampling the famous BBQ stalls in the main square.

Day 6 - Cooking Demonstration

Today features another immersive cooking experience as part of your Moroccan Food Tour. Visit the local food souks, take part in a cooking demonstration, and enjoy the fruits of your labour over lunch.

Prefer a formal class? Check out Maison Arabe’s cooking workshops. (£65 per person).

Day 7 - Atlas Mountains

Today brings a change of scenery as you head into the Atlas Mountains. Begin with a visit to an organic spice garden in the foothills, where you’ll tour the grounds, take part in a traditional bread-making session, and enjoy a relaxing foot spa. The morning ends with a home-cooked Berber lunch.

Afterwards, drive over one of the region’s highest mountain passes for panoramic views and mint tea in a mountain village. For the more active, we can arrange a short hike to nearby waterfalls—just let us know when booking.

In the evening, return to Marrakech for a gourmet farewell dinner at one of the city’s best restaurants—an unforgettable way to end your culinary tour of Morocco.

Day 8 - Home

Our driver will take you to the airport. Depending on your flight time, you may have a chance for some last-minute shopping or a stroll around the lovely Majorelle Gardens.
