Four Days in Marrakech
Experience Overview
Get the most out of Marrakech with this highlight-stuffed four-day adventure. Embark on a multi-day food experience that starts with you finding ingredients at the medina, before trying your hand at making tanjia, a tasty stew cooked in a terra cotta pot. But the food doesn’t stop there. Next, you’ll sample bread from a local bakery and then take a full-day trip to Ouzoud oasis and waterfall to cool off from the heat and enjoy lunch. And if you’re hungry for more adventure, you can combine this trip with one that visits the Sahara Desert or the country’s coast for the total Morocco experience.

- Take part in a multi-day food experience and preparation of "tanjia": a delicious local specialty

I really enjoy the selection of locations available with G, I think they are reasonably priced. I would only mark them down based on some issues I've had with food and standard of accommodation.
