This is a great day out our tour guide / driver Mohammed was professional friendly kept us informed and conducted our day in a relaxing manner . The sights... read more in Rabat are amazing and different to other Moroccan cities , around the port and Hassan tower is amazing. Mohammed recommended a superb place for lunch near the old town was very traditional and yummy we had the mixed skewers. Would highly recommended this trip on your visit.

  OMG, what an incredible, authentic experience cooking with Souad and her family.

We started by going to the market to pick out the fresh ingredients for our meal... read more of lamb tagine with apricots & prunes, homemade bread, Moroccan salad, a beet smoothie, and 4 traditional side dishes (aubergine, carrots, peppers, and sweet potatoes). The meat was definitely “fresh. ” Such a fun and colourful experience.

Next, Souad, took us to her mother & sister-in-law’s home in the ancient medina. Despite little or no English, they helped us chop, slice, peel, boil, cut, shred, grill, juice, knead, and pressure cook everything we needed for the next several hours. We used a lot of spices including cumin, tuneric, garlic, ginger, saffron, preserved lemons and the magical elixir called “44 spice” blend. I took lots of notes and photos since no English meant no written recipes - and our expert chefs measured more by experience & love, than cups or tablespoons.

We made some homemade bread, and when it had risen enough, we walked our tray of loaves through the market to the community oven to bake. So cool!

When the bread was ready we walked it home and enjoyed our feast. SO YUMMY and beautifully & artfully plated!!!!!

Such an amazing adventure and definitely a real slice of life of many Moroccan women’s daily life. Definitely a highlight of our 3 week stay in Morocco.

  5 star experience - Khalid was my driver while I was in Casablanca, Ouarzazate, Benhaddou, Merzouga and Marrakesh. He was very accommodating, informative and punctual with pick up and drop off times. The trip... read more was amazing and I’d highly recommended camel trekking in the Merzouga desert if you have time.
