Moroccan Cooking Class in Agadir with Garden Lunch

LocationAgadir, Morocco (botanical garden outside the city)
LanguagesEnglish, French, Spanish

About this activity

A cooking class in Agadir is one of the most hands-on ways to get to know Moroccan food. In about four and a half hours, you learn to make a classic tagine from scratch, guided by a local chef, in a botanical garden outside the city.

The day starts with a guided walk through the garden, where you pick the fresh aromatic herbs that go into your meal. Before cooking begins, you are welcomed with a traditional tea ceremony and shown how to make mint tea yourself.

While the tagine cooks slowly, you have free time to explore the garden's themed sections. Then you sit down on a shaded terrace and eat the dish you prepared, with a Moroccan salad, seasonal fruit and mint tea.

Hotel pickup and drop-off are included from Agadir, Taghazout and nearby areas. You travel in an air-conditioned vehicle with a guide, and all ingredients and equipment are provided. It works well as a relaxed half-day break from the beach.
