Not to be missed!
I was grateful that the class still ran even though I was the only student. The seeing was luxurious - Palais Amani is beautiful and thoughtful staffed with tea service in the beautiful lobby courtyard garden, an elevator!, and a rooftop terrace with a stunning view of the sunset. The teachers were generous with their time, with everything prepared and unhurried. As a novice baker, the explanations were clear and I feel like I really learned the textures and techniques from Fatima and Alladin. Other staff stopped by to bring cold water or just say hello and see if we needed anything. Once the bread was ready, we went to a community oven just around the block, which heated their whole oven back up again just for our two loaves! And then we went back and made the lightest fluffy lemon coconut cookies by hand. I'll definitely be making them again! And then we got to celebrate the finished products with olives, oil, and more tea. Alladin also was real to take pictures through the whole process. They let me stay even after the class to watch the sunset on the terrace and packed up everything we made for me to take back with me. It was a wonderful experience, and next time I'm in Fes I'll definitely return for another class and to try their hammam.

Wonderful experience!
Our family (2 kids ages 10 and 8 plus parents) did the baking class. It was phenomenal. Miriam and Fatima were so kind and welcoming and taught us how to make Moroccan bread and pastries. They also walked us to the communal oven where we got to cook our food. Our youngest said it was the best thing that we did it Morocco. Highly recommend!

GO!!!!
The experience was incredible, from the location, which seems like an enchanted garden inside the chaotic medina, to the food we made and that you get to taste at the end and take home, to especially the staff! They were some of the most welcoming people we have ever met and took interest in us and our culture and taught us about theirs and even a few words of arabic. Can't recommend this class enough!

Best Baking Class
My husband and I had a wonderful time at the Baking Class at Palais Amani. We learned how to make the traditional Moroccan bread by hand. Our teachers were great and very patient. After our bread was prepared we walked to the communal oven to have it baked, then returned to make some lovely traditional cookies and a fabulous layered custard and fruit dessert, an extra dish not part of the menu. The kitchen was clean and bright on the terrace of a beautiful riad. When all was done we sat in the garden to enjoy what we had made with mint tea. Olive oil was provided for dipping the bread along with a bowl of delicious olives. We learned so much from everyone and can highly recommend this class. Thank you to everyone. 😀
Response from the operator: Dear Lyle, Thank you for leaving us such a wonderful review. We are thrilled that you loved your Baking experience. The team will definitely be happy to read your positive encouragement. We put customer experience and satisfaction as our priority, and your review reaffirms the hard work we put in every day. Thank you again for your kind words and we look forward to welcoming you once again at your Palais Amani and Fez Cooking School. Sincerely yours, The Fez Cooking School Team

A simple but efficient course on nice Moroccan pastries in the rooftop of a beautiful hostel at the center of Fes. Thank you for
I went to visit the hostel rooftop and prepared some dishes with a local cook. We visited a traditional shared oven and I got to prepare citrus small puffs and semoule bread
Response from the operator: Dear Julien, Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with us! That sounds like such a delightful and immersive culinary experience! Exploring the local cuisine and getting hands-on in the cooking process is truly a fantastic way to immerse oneself in the culture of country. The combination of preparing citrus small puffs and semoule bread must have created an amazing flavors. It's experiences like these that create lasting memories and allow you to appreciate the diverse culinary traditions around the world. Thank you so much for sharing your positive feed-back.

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Baking Workshops at Fez Cooking School at Palais Amani: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Fez.
How much does Baking Workshops at Fez Cooking School at Palais Amani cost?
+
Prices start at $43 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Fez usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Baking Workshops at Fez Cooking School at Palais Amani take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 Fez is not rushed.
Is Baking Workshops at Fez Cooking School at Palais Amani worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 19 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Fez, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Baking Workshops at Fez Cooking School at Palais Amani?
+
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 Baking Workshops at Fez Cooking School at Palais Amani suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Baking Workshops at Fez Cooking School at Palais Amani?
+
Around 7 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 Fez 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 Fez and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Baking Workshops at Fez Cooking School at Palais Amani 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 Fez 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 Fez?
+
On Outty we rank every Fez experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Fes to Marrakech desert tour 3 days, Fes to Marrakech: Merzouga & Ait Ben Haddou, 3 Days 2 Nights, 2Days groupe Tour Fes To Fes Or Marrakech Via Sahara Tour. 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 Fez?
+
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 Fez?
+
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.
What is included in Baking Workshops at Fez Cooking School at Palais Amani?
