Traditional community oven bread baking activity in Morocco

Community Oven Bread Baking Workshop in Marrakech, Fes, or Sefrou, Marrakesh

Community bread baking workshop with a local Moroccan host

Combine an authentic culinary experience with one of the most culturally significant aspects of Morocco. Whether in the old Medina of Fes, Marrakech, or Sefrou, you can participate in a bread-making workshop, where you’ll bake your dough in a community wood-burning oven known as a Ferran.

Join the locals and learn the history and culture behind Morocco’s public ovens. Most Moroccans prepare their food in a tagine, a clay pot of sorts placed over a fire. Personal ovens, even in wealthier homes, aren’t the norm. However, Moroccans love bread, so how do they bake this staple? They use community ovens.

Many believe these public ovens bring the community together, working as one to feed their residents. Every town and city has community ovens, and now you can experience baking in one, too. After learning how to prepare the signature recipe in Morocco and baking your creations in the ovens, you can taste the fruits of your labor. For all the bread left over, the community regularly donates it to the local orphanages.

This workshop teaches travelers history and culture of the public ovens and the significance of bread in Morocco.

Tour guides and our driver, Ibrahim, were very knowledgable about different cities and towns. The minibus was... read more comfortable and we were accommodated well with our lunch stops and tour breaks on each drive. Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking to be fully immersed in Moroccan culture.

    star rating  Exploring Marrakech  - I had a great experience with this company. We used their services for airport pick-up and drop-offs as well as tours/excursions. Drivers Mohamed and Yasser made us very comfortable and... read more are safe drivers on the busy streets of Marrakech. Musafeh, our tour guide was a wealth of knowledge, knew his way around town and very patient as we explored the souks, museum and garden. He guided us safely through the souks. He was very interactive with us through conversations and helped us with the merchants. Top 10 service.

    star rating  Family fun in Morocco  - I could not be more delighted with the service that we received from this company from the day we booked it to the day we were dropped at the airport.... read more We were a party of 12. Nine of my grandchildren plus their partners (all in their 20’s) plus 3 other family members.
    We were met on time by our fantastic driver Ibrahim who stayed with us all week. Our vehicle was a brand new Mercedes mini-bus. We also had different guides to some of the more historic places. Our travels took us from Marrakech to The Atlas Mountains, Sahara desert, Casablanca, Fez and Essaouira. We have unforgettable memories of camel riding into the sunset and dancing to Berber musicians infront of a fire pit late into the night.
    The accomodation was outstanding in old, picturesque Riads everywhere (except luxury tents .with proper bathrooms . in the desert).
    I cannot recommend this company too highly. We received exactly what was promised and they were always flexible if we needed to make a change.
    Ofcourse, it’s helpful to have words of warning. There were some very long days of driving as we covered a lot of territory. This is not a choice for the less fit. Lots of steep stairs, not always with hand rails. . But I am 84 and I made it.
    Also, don’t travel with checked in luggage. You don’t need many clothes and it’s easier to carry small cases.
    This is our experience of just one of the many tours run by this excellent company. Good luck.
