Why we love it?

This six-hour cultural and culinary tour departs from Marrakech and journeys through the scenic countryside toward the foothills of the Atlas Mountains near Amizmiz. Along the way, you’ll pass traditional Berber villages and rural farms, with opportunities for photo stops to observe daily life far from the city. The highlight is a visit to a local women’s cooperative where you participate in a hands-on couscous-making workshop, learning how to prepare semolina from barley, wheat, and corn, and how to steam and assemble the dish with fresh seasonal vegetables or meat options. After cooking, you share the meal in a welcoming atmosphere that reflects Moroccan hospitality. This experience offers insight into local culinary traditions and supports sustainable tourism by directly benefiting the women’s cooperative. The tour concludes with a relaxing return drive to Marrakech, providing a meaningful connection to Morocco’s rural culture.
