Khadija is so friendly and helpful showing us all the techniques to embroider beautiful baskets. Great fun for all ages and abilities
Thank you so much Debs for your lovely review. Khadija will be very touched to read your kind words. We are so happy that you enjoyed discovering the embroidery techniques and creating your basket in a warm and relaxed atmosphere. It means a lot to us that the experience felt accessible and enjoyable for all ages and skill levels. Thank you again for sharing this special moment with us in Marrakech.
Lovely experience. Really enjoyed the quiet time and the souvenir. Very difficult to find so allow lots of time! Beautiful baskets.
Thank you so much for your lovely review. We are very happy that you enjoyed this peaceful and creative moment in the heart of the Marrakech medina, as well as the souvenir you created during the workshop. And thank you also for mentioning the location. The medina can sometimes feel like a little maze, but many travelers end up loving the hidden and authentic atmosphere once they arrive. Thank you again for your kind words about our baskets and for sharing your experience.
Such a lovely experience, had a great laugh keeping the needle in space and to stabbing my fingers. Khadija was amazing and extremely helpful and patient. Frequently checked on progress to make sure it was going well and correcting any mistakes. Definitely a must do when you visit Marrakech for a cute momento.
We can totally picture the little needle struggles at the beginning 😄 and all the laughs that come with it That’s exactly what the workshop is about: learning, making a few mistakes, having fun… and watching your basket come to life step by step ✨ Khadija will be so happy to read your message 🧡
I absolutely loved my time at Original Marrakech Bag Workshop! The atmosphere was calm and welcoming, making it such a relaxing break from the busy city. The workshop was easy to follow, really helpful, and so enjoyable—even as a beginner. It felt more like a therapeutic, creative experience than just a class. Even though it took me a lot of tries and mistakes - I got there in the end and my bag I’m going to use it to put some plants in🌷 I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting Marrakech. Such a fun and memorable experience! We had an amazing experience with Khadija ❤️
You can really feel your whole experience through your words, and that’s exactly what we love to create here ✨ Taking the time, trying, making a few mistakes and then seeing it come together… that’s the real magic of the workshop. And we love the idea of using your basket for plants 🌷 Khadija will be so happy to read your message ❤️
Have had an amazing experience! It was so much with friends would recommend to others to do
Love reading this! There’s something really special about creating your own basket and sharing that moment together. Khadija will be very happy to know you enjoyed the experience. Hope your basket reminds you of this moment every time you see it ✨
We loved this embroidery class! The teachers were very patient with us and we left with beautiful baskets
So happy you enjoyed it! Creating, sharing and leaving with something made by your own hands is what it’s all about. Khadija will be very happy to read your message ✨
Such a fun and unique experience! Went with 11 and 14 yr old, which was just the right age. Class instructor ensured there project was successful and we got one of a kind creations and an unforgettable time. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review ✨ We’re truly happy that you and your children enjoyed the workshop. 11 and 14 years old is indeed the perfect age to learn embroidery while having fun! Our goal is for every participant to leave proud of their creation and with a unique souvenir from Marrakech. We would love to welcome you again 💛
Very friendly and helpful teacher who has a lot of patience with children. Highly recommended to do together with the family!
Hartelijk dank voor uw mooie review ✨ We zijn erg blij dat u de vriendelijkheid en het geduld van onze begeleidster heeft gewaardeerd, vooral met kinderen. Onze workshops zijn bedoeld om samen als gezin te beleven, en het betekent veel voor ons dat u het aanbeveelt. Hopelijk mogen we u opnieuw verwelkomen in Marrakech 🧵🧺
I booked this last minute due to a cancellation for a different activity because of the rain and I had the best time! It was just me so we actually were able to move through the activity quickly and I got personal one on one support. It was a really lovely afternoon activity and the tea and cookie were the perfect way to enjoy a rainy afternoon.
Thank you so much for your lovely review 🧡 We’re so happy the workshop turned a rainy day into a warm and creative moment. Having a more personal, one-to-one experience often makes it even more special, and Khadija truly enjoys guiding each guest at their own pace. We’re also glad you enjoyed the tea and sweet treat — the perfect touch for a cozy afternoon ☕✨ We would love to welcome you again in Marrakech, rain or sunshine 🌿
A very fun activity with something to get home with after your visit in Marrakech! You got to personalize your own work and choose the colours as well.
Thank you so much for your kind review 😊 We love that each guest leaves with something they created with their own hands. Choosing the colours and personalizing your basket makes every piece — and every moment — truly unique. We’re so happy you enjoyed the experience and hope to welcome you again on your next trip to Marrakech ✨
