Immerse yourself in one of Morocco’s most culturally rich and delicious traditions by participating in a hands-on bread-making experience. In the historic Medinas of Fes, Marrakech, or Sefrou, you’ll have the opportunity to join a unique workshop where you’ll knead and shape your dough, then bake it in a traditional wood-fired oven known as a Ferran.

During the session, you’ll learn from locals about the deep historical significance and communal value of these public ovens. While many Moroccans cook their meals in a tagine—a clay vessel heated over an open flame—bread baking typically occurs in these communal ovens, as most homes, even those with modern amenities, do not have personal ovens.

These ovens serve more than just a culinary purpose—they are vital community hubs. Locals gather daily to bake bread and connect with neighbors, reinforcing social bonds. As part of the workshop, you’ll follow the local recipe, shape your dough, and bake it to golden perfection. Once done, taste your warm bread alongside your hosts. Extra loaves are often donated to local orphanages, reinforcing the spirit of generosity.

This workshop is not just about making food—it’s about understanding Morocco’s shared traditions, experiencing the warmth of community, and appreciating the essential role that bread plays in everyday Moroccan life.
