Cooking classes in Agadir

Frequently asked questions

Which cooking class should I choose in Agadir?

It depends on three factors: your budget, the time you have available, and the setting you prefer. The tagine class at Kasbah Souss (€35, 3 hours) is a great place to start, ideal if this is your first class or if you have less than 4 hours. The couscous class (€45, 4 hours) is the most comprehensive: you’ll roll the semolina by hand and prepare the iconic dish of Moroccan families. The class in Taghazout (€45, 3 hours) focuses on the setting: an outdoor tagine on the beach at sunset, with a group limited to 6 people. It does not include transportation from Agadir.

Is transportation included in the cooking class?

It depends on the class. Round-trip transportation from your hotel in Agadir is included for the tagine class at Kasbah Souss and for the couscous class. However, for the class in Taghazout (beach, 20 km north of Agadir), transportation is at your own expense—you’ll need to get there on your own (by taxi, rental car, or carpool).

Can children participate in the cooking classes?

Yes, all classes are open to children ages 4 and up. The children’s rates are: €30 for the tagine class at Kasbah Souss (adults €35), €35 for the couscous class (adults €45), and €25 for the class in Taghazout (adults €45). The preparation activities (mixing, kneading, adding spices) are suitable for children.

How much does a cooking class cost in Agadir?

The classes offered by Immersi Travel start at €35 per adult for the tagine class at Kasbah Souss (3 hours, transportation included). The couscous class and the class in Taghazout are €45 per adult. Prices for children (ages 4 and up) range from €25 to €35 depending on the class. These prices include fresh ingredients, utensils, tea, a tasting, and, for classes at the Kasbah, transportation from your hotel in Agadir.

Do you need to know how to cook to participate?

No, no prior experience is required. The classes are designed for complete beginners. Chef Salma (Kasbah and couscous classes) or our local chefs (Taghazout) will guide you through every step, from selecting ingredients to tasting the final dish. The idea is to understand the technique (how to roll out the semolina, why spices are added in this order) without the pressure to get it right—you get to eat what you’ve prepared.

In what language are the classes taught?

The tagine cooking class at Kasbah Souss is conducted in French only—it is not available in English. The couscous class and the class in Taghazout are available in French, English, and Arabic. If you are an English speaker, please specify your preferred language when booking.

Can we choose our meal?

Yes, for each class. For the Kasbah-style tagine, you’ll choose your option on-site with the chef (chicken with preserved lemons, lamb with prunes, kefta, or vegetarian). For the couscous, you choose the version at the start of the workshop: vegetarian, one meat, two meats, or couscous royal. For the class in Taghazout, the dish is chosen in advance via message (chicken with olives, lamb with prunes, vegetables, or fish of the day) so that the chefs can purchase the fresh ingredients before your arrival.

Are dietary restrictions and allergies taken into account?

Yes. All classes offer vegetarian options at no extra charge. If you have any allergies or special dietary requirements (gluten-free, food intolerances), please let us know when you book—the chefs will adjust the ingredients accordingly. Please do not mention this on the day of the class, as the ingredients are purchased before your arrival.

Why book directly instead of through GetYourGuide or Viator?

When you book directly with Immersi Travel, you’ll receive an email confirmation within 10 minutes with the exact meeting point and a direct contact (WhatsApp +212 605 023 457) who can be reached before and during your stay. Free cancellation applies up to 24 hours in advance for all classes. You deal directly with the local agency that runs the classes, with no middleman.

What are the cancellation policies?

Cancellations are free of charge up to 24 hours before the start of the class, just like on major booking platforms. In the event of strong winds in Taghazout, the instructor will adjust the schedule without canceling the session.

Are the classes accessible to people with limited mobility?

No. The current classes are not wheelchair-accessible. The tagine class and the couscous class are held at Kasbah Souss, a village in the hills above Agadir with uneven terrain. The class in Taghazout takes place on the sandy beach, which is also not wheelchair-accessible.
