Fun and informative cookery class with Oumaima
Our chef and guide, Oumaima, was delightful! Informative, fun and made the whole experience really enjoyable. We started with mint tea and cookies whilst we selected our 3 course menu from the riads cookery book. Then a short visit to the souk to buy our ingredients before heading back to the riad to cook it all up! Once we’d made our 3 courses (3 Moroccan salads, a lamb tagine followed by cinnamon orange slices), we were able to enjoy the fruits of our labour. Highly recommend this experience
Response from the operator: We thank you for your trust and your great testimonial. We are very happy and delighted to know that our work and our efforts to satisfy you have been appreciated. Looking forward to welcoming you in other experiences with Moroccan Food Tour.

Disappointing
Would not recommend- guide picked us up late, we were told the regular kitchen was booked, so we ended up cooking in a tiny crammed kitchen. It was not really interactive, basically the chef was cooking and we were watching her, occasionally chopping a thing or two. No explanations about the dishes and ingredients only when we asked. It did not seem organised, dishes were made in random order and everything at once so that we couldn’t follow what we were doing and what the recipes are. So it was not really a cooking class, but basically a very expensive dinner. We were the only two at the class, which made the whole experience more awkward. On the positive note- food was delicious, chef was friendly, and we got tea and cookies.

If you are looking for a wonderful food experience
We did start the tour with Mohamed our guide food tour. The tour goes from the meeting place to the main fascinating streets of Marrarakech. We had an amazing experience enjoying the tasty food Including : the traditional soup Bissara for breakfast with local bread, then we did attend a cooking class : mororccan briwat + the tagine lamb prunes almandes and dry grippes + patisserie and of course the preparation of the Moroccan tea. The guide Mohamed is so informative and has a good background concerning the history , culture of Morocco specifically of Morocco. We do recommend the Moroccan food tour for all travelers either solo, with family or friends. This is the best way to explore the red city and enjoy the taste of Marrakech's food. Thank you Mohamed for your amazing experience and we will be back soon .
Response from the operator: Thanks a lot for choosing us, we're glad you liked the experience :) we hope to see around next time :)

Marrakech Cooking Class: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Marrakech.
How much does Marrakech Cooking Class cost?
+
Prices start at €75 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 Marrakech Cooking Class 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 Marrakech Cooking Class worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 3 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 Marrakech Cooking Class?
+
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 Marrakech Cooking Class suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 6. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 3-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Marrakech Cooking Class?
+
Around 1 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 Marrakech Cooking Class 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 Marrakech: 1 Day Tour-Best of Atlas Mountains and Three Valleys, Agafay Desert Quad Bike Camel Ride and Dinner Show, Marrakech: Atlas Mountains, Ourika Valley, Waterfall + Lunch. 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.

+
We meet in the café, just tell to the café staff that you're for the cooking class in the Riad, they will take you to the riad Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Marrakech Cooking Class offered in?
+
