About this experience
Your hosts at the Amal Center will help you recreate authentic Moroccan dishes cooked the traditional way. Choose from a variety of favorite tajines including chicken with preserved lemon, beef or lamb with prunes and almonds, fish or vegetarian. You can even make sophisticated chicken pastilla or couscous for a small extra fee. The best part - besides the amazing food - is that you are helping support a valuable non-profit cause: empowering women from disadvantaged backgrounds through culinary training and job placement. Our cooking class setting is one-of-a-kind, with a dedicated workshop in our beautiful, peaceful garden, an oasis of peace in a busy city! During the class, while our tajines simmer over charcoal, we'll have a traditional Moroccan tea ceremony. It is a chance to be together and talk about the work Amal has been doing over the last 11 years to empower women and serve the community.

A wonderul experience and highly recommend
I had read about this and was planning a solo trip to Morocco using Marrakech as my homebase. I have friends in Marrakech but wanted things to do while they work. THIS WAS SO GREAT! I had wonderful fellow guests and we each did a tajne ( I did fish) and then shared it, saw them baking bread and I also did a cookie class, you also learn about the moroccan mint tea service and how to do. Our leader was entertaining and fun. It is relaxing beautiful place and got a coffee at the sign language cafe, I had cookies to bring home to my friends. I did this within my first couple days of my trip and so glad I did, many nationalities, a french family with 2 teen boys, and 2 couples, one swiss and one English , I am from California and grew up with moroccan cooking mom but learned so much. you can also buy honey from the High Atlas which helps victims of the earthquake and it is a treat. Great experience for a group, family couple or solo like me! In Morocco it can be difficult to meet and talk with women so its fun to be able to interact with them and learn
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your beautiful description! You truly experienced the best of what we hope to offer. We're so happy that you joined us for the cooking and baking classes, thank you for choosing to spend the day with us and for supporting our cause.

Wonderful cooking experience as a Mother-Daughter trip
Fabulous experience cooking with my daughter as part of a mother daughter trip. We cooked Lamb Tagine which took about 3 hrs but we had the best time, cooking together, drinking moroccan tea during the tea ceremony and listening to the stories. Would definitiely go back for more.

An authentic Moroccan culinary experience
This cooking class is a must for anyone looking to learn how to make authentic Moroccan cuisine from experts. This non profit organization is providing training and skillsets to a wide variety of Moroccan women seeking a better life. Our group had such a great time making chicken ,fish and vegetable tagine. The place is spacious and the staff are most welcoming. A truly worthwhile experience during a wonderful trip to Morocco several weeks ago!

Vegetarian tagine at AMAL Targa Center
We made vegetarian tagine which was delicious. The staff, chefs and students made us very welcome. The setting was lovely and the morning was fun, informative and relaxing. Thank you to everyone involved. We also visited the AMAL restaurant in Gueliz, Marrakesh. Also heartily recommended for its beautiful leafy courtyard and wonderful food.

This organization is dedicated to improving women's lives and they "....believe in the power of good food to change lives, to bring people together and nurture body and soul" And do they ever! Please go, you will feel better about yourself and learn how to make a great Tagine in the process.

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
3 Hour Moroccan Cooking Class in Marrakech: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Marrakech.
How much does 3 Hour Moroccan Cooking Class in Marrakech cost?
+
Prices start at $55 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Marrakech usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 3 Hour Moroccan Cooking Class in Marrakech take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Marrakech is not rushed.
Is 3 Hour Moroccan Cooking Class in Marrakech worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 62 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Marrakech, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3 Hour Moroccan Cooking Class in Marrakech?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 3 Hour Moroccan Cooking Class in Marrakech suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 3 Hour Moroccan Cooking Class in Marrakech?
+
Around 22 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Marrakech can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Marrakech and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3 Hour Moroccan Cooking Class in Marrakech start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Marrakech within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Marrakech?
+
On Outty we rank every Marrakech experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Agafay Desert Quad Bike Camel Ride and Dinner Show, From Marrakech To Essaouira Mogador Full Day Trip | Small-group, Agafay Desert Package, Quad Bike, Camel Ride and Dinner Show. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Marrakech?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Marrakech?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
