Free Cancellation · Instant confirmation · Private tour
Meet your host and the maalem (master artisan) at the cooperative. Brief introduction to the history and cultural significance of zellige in Moroccan architecture.
Watch the artisan demonstrate traditional techniques — hand-cutting tiles with a mankash (chisel-hammer), shaping geometric pieces, and arranging classic zellige patterns.
Try your hand at cutting and composing your own tile piece with guidance from the artisan, using traditional tools and techniques.
Learn how pieces are traditionally set and finished, and see the final composition come together.
Q&A with the artisan and time to collect your finished piece to take home as a keepsake.
