Marrakech Tagine-Making Cooking Class with Shopping Tour

Learn the secrets of Moroccan tea and tagine cooking in a three-hour hands-on class with a local chef, plus Medina Mall tastings and perks.

Getting started

Begin your three-hour tagine cooking class by checking in at the kitchen space where you meet your local chef and fellow participants. After a short introduction to the session format, you move to your workstation and get set up with ingredients and utensils. The experience starts indoors, so you can focus on the workshop without needing to navigate the city first.

What to expect

Marrakech tagine and tea workshop

This experience centers on a practical introduction to Moroccan culinary traditions, from tea rituals to slow-cooked tagines and dessert. Over three hours, you progress from tasting and observing to preparing and enjoying a full meal you have helped create.

Features

• A Moroccan tea ceremony workshop opens the session, where you learn the history, traditions, and preparation of Moroccan tea and sample Moroccan pastries as you watch the ceremony step by step.
• During hands-on tagine cooking with a local chef, you prepare your own Moroccan tagine, choosing from chicken, beef, or vegetarian options while discovering the spices and techniques that give the dish its distinctive character.
• Lunch with Jawhara dessert and bottled water is included at the end of the class, so you sit down to enjoy the same tagines you have made, finish with a sweet Jawhara dessert, and have a vegetarian option available if you prefer.
• Pictures and an attendance certificate are provided after the workshop, along with access to a photo link, so you can document your experience and take home a record of your participation.

Medina Mall and tasting visits

After the cooking component, the experience continues beyond the kitchen with a short exploration of nearby food-focused venues. You visit a modern shopping setting and two specialist stores that highlight Moroccan olive oil and herbs.

Features

• A guided Medina Mall tour introduces you to local products and boutiques, and during this visit you receive a 20 percent discount to use at Medina Mall.
• At La Cave à Huile, you join an olive oil tasting session where you sample different varieties and learn how Moroccan olive oil is produced and appreciated.
• A stop at Prestige Bladi focuses on Moroccan herbs and spices; here you take part in Moroccan herb tastings that showcase blends commonly used in tagines and tea, connecting back to what you cooked earlier.
