Our Berber cooking workshop and visit to Souk Tnine Ourika offers an authentic immersion in Moroccan culture. Unlike traditional experiences, the activity begins with a visit to the local market, where you will select fresh ingredients and spices alongside traders. You will then reach the Auberge Le Maquis, a haven of peace in the heart of the Ourika Valley, where a local chef will guide you in preparing a Berber tagine with chicken or meat. Discover the secrets of Moroccan spices and traditional cooking techniques before enjoying your dish in the garden or by the pool. This unique moment combines gastronomy, sharing and relaxation in nature. With roundtrip transportation included, this experience guarantees comfort and authenticity for a true immersion in Berber culinary art.
