Moroccan Cooking Workshop in Dakhla: An Authentic Culinary Experience by the Lagoon

Embark on a sensory journey at Palais Rhoul Dakhla through our traditional Moroccan cooking workshop—set in an open-air space with panoramic views of the lagoon. Guided by Rachida, our cherished cook, and the house chefs, this experience invites you to discover the richness of southern Moroccan cuisine in an atmosphere that blends elegance, warmth, and authenticity.

​

You’ll learn to prepare tagines of fresh fish caught from our private boat, couscous with handpicked organic vegetables, golden briouates, or fragrant oriental pastries—using only seasonal and locally sourced ingredients from our gardens or trusted nearby producers.

 

The workshop unfolds in our wooden paillote, crafted with terracotta and natural fabrics, where every tool and dish has a story. You’ll knead, slice, spice, and simmer under the guidance of a generous, passionate team who shares ancestral techniques with care and simplicity.

This is not just cooking—it’s a cultural exchange rooted in Saharan traditions, where every gesture honors time, people, and nature.

In keeping with the eco-conscious philosophy of Palais Rhoul Dakhla, the workshop adheres to sustainable practices: no single-use plastics, natural fertilizers only, composting of leftovers, and slow cooking over traditional fires. Even the tableware is handcrafted by local artisans, extending the integrity of the experience.

​

After cooking, you’ll gather to enjoy the meal together—barefoot, relaxed, and facing the soft glow of the lagoon. This is a rare and nourishing moment where flavor meets memory, and simplicity meets elegance.

​

Perfect for culinary enthusiasts, curious travelers, or families seeking meaningful connection, this cooking class in Dakhla brings a delicious, human touch to your stay. Whether part of a wellness retreat, a romantic getaway, or a solo journey, it offers the joy of creating something real—with your hands, your senses, and your heart.
