Excursion Overview
This morning you will be met at your riad guided across the labyrinthine streets of the old Medina and provided with a list of Arabic phrases to help you communicate with the local family you're about to spend the day with. After reaching the local home and being introduced to the family, you will start your experience with traditional bread-making which will be baked at the communal oven.
You will then walk together to the nearby food market to buy fresh ingredients for an authentic lunch, a great opportunity to practice some simple Arabic words and phrases. Back at the house your hosts will teach you how to prepare the traditional Moroccan Tagine (Fez-style), seasonal salads, preserved lemon and the special basic sauce for marinating. Discover the secrets of Fez cuisine and how it differs from other regions. After lunch you can relax with the family, and learn more about their lives over a cup of Moroccan mint tea.

I would definitely use Holiday Architects again.Emma booked us an amazing holiday in Morocco, and really listened to what was important to us. We travelled extensively, staying in local riads to maximise the true feel of the country and what it has to offer. It was a fantastic trip. All the local staff were friendly and helpful. I would definitely use Holiday Architects again.

Rebecca at Holiday Architects really listened to me when I described the sort of holiday I wanted. It was truly tailor made for us. We had a fabulous time on our expertly planned multi-destination holiday to Morocco, and all the arrangements and transfers were seamless. Charming people too - I can't recommend this company highly enough and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
