About the atelier

A kitchen with a soul

Marrakech Local Experience was founded by Abderahim to share authentic Moroccan food culture with travellers from around the world.

Inside our riad kitchen, our local chefs share the dishes, spices and stories they grew up with. Come for the cooking, stay for the conversation, and leave with a little of Morocco to take home.
