Culinary Treasures Tour
Morocco’s cuisine is considered one of the world’s greatest – and this tour will show you why.

Moroccan chefs have masterfully woven into the cuisine the influences of other countries whose herbs and spices have been traded across Morocco’s borders. For centuries Prepare your tastebuds: this tour is experiential! You’ll be introduced to key ingredients, both exotic and familiar, how they’re made and how they’re used. You’ll also be introduced to cooking methods (including the use of the tagine) that have evolved with Morocco’s people and culture.
