My husband and I had a wonderful time at the Baking Class at Palais Amani. We learned how to make the traditional Moroccan bread by hand. Our teachers were great and very patient. After our bread was prepared we walked to the communal oven to have it baked, then returned to make some lovely traditional cookies and a fabulous layered custard and fruit dessert, an extra dish not part of the menu. The kitchen was clean and bright on the terrace of a beautiful riad. When all was done we sat in the garden to enjoy what we had made with mint tea. Olive oil was provided for dipping the bread along with a bowl of delicious olives. We learned so much from everyone and can highly recommend this class. Thank you to everyone. 😀

GO!!!!

Silvia_F, Sep 2024
The experience was incredible, from the location, which seems like an enchanted garden inside the chaotic medina, to the food we made and that you get to taste at the end and take home, to especially the staff! They were some of the most welcoming people we have ever met and took interest in us and our culture and taught us about theirs and even a few words of arabic. Can't recommend this class enough!

My partner and i here visited here last week to do bread making. It was fun and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. We had the opportunity to go to the top of the terrace and have a fantastic view of the old town. Tip: visit on an empty stomach!

Great experience!

Joke_N, Feb 2026
Up and top experience in a fantastic setting! Loubna and Fatima taught us the tricks of Moroccan baking. First by making dough for bread that we brought to the local oven in the medina to bake it...top experience! Furthermore, we made delicious coconut cookies that we were allowed to snack on when they were ready with a nice Moroccan tea...This experience deserves 11/10!
