Experience authentic Berber life in the Atlas Mountains by cooking with a local family in their real home, not a tourist restaurant.

Make Berber bread from scratch, knead the dough by hand, and bake it in a clay oven using ancestral techniques. Participate in a Moroccan mint tea ceremony, learning how to brew and serve the perfect tea. A local guide will translate throughout, as the family speaks only Berber (Amazigh).
