The Cooking Class

Located in our lush Targa Center, the cooking class is a fun, relaxing experience where you will make your own Moroccan dish with our chefs, while learning about Amal as well as Moroccan cuisine and culture. The three-hour class includes a traditional tea ceremony, and ends with you enjoying the most delicious Moroccan food you will have during your time in Morocco :)
“Before I came to Amal, I was a hopeless divorced woman who thought that the train passes by and has no purpose in life. I realized after graduation from Amal that it's never too late to study and to change my life to achieve my
goals.”

What people say about Amal's classes

Best experience in Marrakech
“The whole experience was absolutely amazing and would highly recommend to anyone passing through Marrakesh the take one morning off to really have fun and eat something delicious. The location was beautiful, a spacious kitchen, a lovely orchard where they grow their own produce and a lovely terrace to enjoy the tea and food prepared. The class itself was real fun because we were a big group of about 12 people and could observe all the different recipes before and after making ours... So, if you like cooking, eating or just want to try a new experience and eat something good that you actually made, don’t think twice, book yourself a class and help a good cause!”

You must take the cooking class!
“I had an amazing cooking experience and I am someone who does not cook! The instructors were wonderful. I learned a lot about spices and flavors and left with the confidence to try the recipes on my own.”
