What makes our activity truly special is the real Moroccan hospitality we offer to our guests. Beyond cooking, we share with them everything they should know about Morocco and Essaouira, helping them discover the best places to buy spices, gifts, and argan oil at fair local prices. We also provide recommendations for authentic Moroccan dishes that most tourists never get to try, and suggest unique activities to enrich their stay. Sometimes, we even meet before the cooking class to go shopping together, or the following morning for a walking tour of the city, exploring the markets side by side and experiencing Essaouira like a local. We are here as your local friends and guides in Essaouira.
