Day 3: Marrakesh

A special day today as you enjoy a cooking class.

An English translator provides a brief introduction of the history and traditions of Moroccan cuisine followed by detailed preparation and cooking instructions.

At the end of the workshop, enjoy the meal you have just prepared on a private patio in the shade of an olive or fig tree.
