Cooking course with genuine Berber Family at Atlas Mt

This was an amazing and very authentic day trip. Youness, our guide, was the best too. He told us all about the history of Morocco and the Berber people, and answered our endless questions as well. We visited a traditional open air market to pick up the food we’d be preparing, before going to a local Berber family home on the side of a mountain. There, we were met by a lovely woman and her extended family. She couldn’t speak English, but wore a big warm smile and Youness translated everything for us. She welcomed us with traditional mint tea which she taught us how to prepare, along with some biscuits and nuts. Then, we got to business cutting up veggies, kneading dough, and layering our tagine. It was all cooked on an open wood fire. We enjoyed a terrific feast, followed by an opportunity to try to milk their cow (which lived in a stall inside their house, beside the kitchen). Absolutely incredible experience from start to finish. Our family loved every minute, including each of our 3 children (15 yrs, 11 yrs and 3 yrs). BTW, Youness was so great at assisting our 3 year old so that she could help with the cooking the whole time. Highly recommend this tour.

We had a very nice day trip to a local family in the mountains. Our guide was super friendly so we felt right at ease. He took us to a local market where there were not any tourists, it was quite an experience, after that we arrived to the berber family. The cooking 'class' itself was not that extensive, we helped cutting the vegetables and kneading the dough for the bread. But beside that we didn't do that much cooking, for example the local lady did all the spices and put together the dough, I think it's more that they forgot that for us everything was new and for them it's something they have been making for years! But also it turned out tagine is quite a simple recipe. We had a great experience though! While it was cooking we visited an argan company and berber museum and a spices place. After that we ate the food we prepared and went back to Marrakech. The guide even gave us a tagine as a gift! We had a wonderful day and if you happen to get the same guide we had I'm sure you will also have a great experience :)

An dem einen Tag haben wir mit Omar die Altstadt von Marrakesch (inkl. jeglicher Sehenswürdigkeiten) besucht. An dem 2ten Tag waren wir zusammen im Atlasgebirge. Dort hat und ein weiterer sehr netter Tour-Guide die Wasserfälle gezeigt. Tolles Erlebnis, inkl. Mittagessen, Abholung am Riad, usw. Omar selbst ist sehr vertrauensvoll, höfflich zurückhaltend und super zuverlässig. Omar hat auch den Flughafentransfer durchgeführt. Spart Zeit und Nerven! Demnach sehr empfehlenswert...jederzeit wieder! DANKE
