If you are looking for a private and authentic experience that combines Moroccan gastronomy with breathtaking views of the Atlas Mountains, this cooking class in the Ourika Valley is the perfect choice.

During this 7‑hour excursion from Marrakech, you will visit a traditional Berber guest house nestled in the High Atlas, surrounded by lush vegetation and stunning landscapes. The cooking workshops are held in a dedicated, fully equipped space designed for culinary training.

Guided by a professional chef, you will learn about Moroccan gastronomy and Berber culinary traditions. The workshop includes preparing traditional Berber bread and one or two popular tajines, such as chicken with olives and preserved lemon or beef with prunes and almonds. Depending on the season, you may also learn to prepare Moroccan salads and sweet desserts.

After the workshop, enjoy the dishes you prepared during a rooftop terrace lunch, with panoramic views over the valley. In the afternoon, you can join a short guided walk through hidden trails of the valley or relax by the riverside. Additional workshops such as pottery or painting are also available on site.

This experience combines culture, cuisine, and nature, offering travelers a memorable day in the Atlas Mountains.
