Warm and welcoming host
What an amazing experience!! Chamsi is such a warm and welcoming person with some mad cooking skills. We started at the market and were able to select what we wanted to cook. The cooking was so fun and the conversation even better. Don't miss out on this one!! Thank you, Chamsi. It was so great to meet you and your family!

A Taste of Teamwork: Cooking, Sharing, and Connecting at Chamsi’s Home
We had the pleasure of spending half a day at Chamsi’s home for our team-building activity. The entire team truly enjoyed the experience. Chamsi welcomed us warmly, making us feel instantly at home. It was a genuine delight to learn local recipes and share a meal together in such a cozy setting. Without a doubt, this was the best team-building experience we’ve had.

Do not miss this!
If you love food and wine and learning about the culture of other countries in an intimate setting, this is for you! Everything about our experience was wonderful! We arrived by cruise ship and Chamsi picked us up at the shuttle drop off point. As we made our way to her home she pointed out areas of interest, including the Hassan II Mosque. We were unable to attend the market since it was a Friday but we did make a stop at a lovely wine store. Once at Chamsi’s beautiful home we were welcomed into her kitchen that was beautifully set up for us. We first learned to make and pour tea then got busy preparing our tangine and vegetable salads. It was so much fun and the food was absolutely amazing! This was truly the highlight of our whole cruise experience!

Memorable Moroccan food experience
Chamsi is a warm and talented cook who prepared three traditional Moroccan dishes for us. It was also wonderful and special to share this meal at Chamsi's beautiful home together with her lovely family. The food was exceptional as was the good Moroccan wine. Highly recommend that you add this to your time in Casablanca.

Casablanca Culinary Class Extraordinaire
Maria was an absolute marvel not only as a cooking teacher but also knowledgable as an historian and cultural guide. First visit was to the best pastry shop in Casablanca. Then a visit to her local farmers market which included a lot of tasting. Then she graciously welcomed us into her home, kitchen and salon. We all worked together to prepare a fabulous assortment of traditional Moroccan dishes. And then we all dined together. It was fun, educational and a memory to last a lifetime.

PRIVATE Casablanca Market Tour & Home Cooking Class with Chamsi: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Casablanca.
How much does PRIVATE Casablanca Market Tour & Home Cooking Class with Chamsi cost?
+
Prices start at $189 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Casablanca usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does PRIVATE Casablanca Market Tour & Home Cooking Class with Chamsi take?
+
Plan for about 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 Casablanca is not rushed.
Is PRIVATE Casablanca Market Tour & Home Cooking Class with Chamsi worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 36 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Casablanca, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule PRIVATE Casablanca Market Tour & Home Cooking Class with Chamsi?
+
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 PRIVATE Casablanca Market Tour & Home Cooking Class with Chamsi suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book PRIVATE Casablanca Market Tour & Home Cooking Class with Chamsi?
+
Around 13 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 Casablanca 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 Casablanca and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does PRIVATE Casablanca Market Tour & Home Cooking Class with Chamsi 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 Casablanca 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 Casablanca?
+
On Outty we rank every Casablanca experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Casablanca Hassan II Mosque and City Highlights Tour, Casablanca Half-day Guided Tour with Hassan II mosque ticket, Private Guided Tour of Casablanca Including Mosque Entrance. 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 Casablanca?
+
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 Casablanca?
+
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.

+
Please meet Chamsi at her home in Hay El Hana neighborhood of Casablanca. Please check the 'Before you go' section on your voucher for the exact address, the above only offers neighbourhood details. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is PRIVATE Casablanca Market Tour & Home Cooking Class with Chamsi offered in?
+
