Tangier Food Cooking Class and Private City Tour

Bilal Tribak was a spectacular host for the three of us. Despite having a very rainy day, he was able to show us all of the highlights that we wanted to see. Our tour was a three part experience . Part one was seeing the highlights and learning the history of Tangier including a camel ride by the ocean. Part two, our absolute favorite part, was a cooking class in his home. This was so unique and his family was very welcoming to us. We collectively made a traditional couscous and chicken tangine dinner supervised by his wife. We finished by making the classic Moroccan mint tea. Part three was visiting craftsman in the Medina. We enjoyed the shopping experience and left our hearts and money in Tangier. Bilal is not only fluent in Arabic, French, Spanish and English, he speaks the universal language of hospitality. He’s also a wealth of knowledge on the history of Tangier and Morocco. For the best experience you could ever have, hands down Bilal is the guy!

Efficient pick up at port with first class transport. Our Tour provided great historical background to Tangier. Cooking class was basic, the results were excellent and the we learnt a number of things that we will try back home. Third part of the tour was around the souk and old town which was interesting. If you want to see anything specific or spend more time doing something then just let Bilal know.

The guide was late for pick up, and we went to look for him. When we finally found him he said he was there the whole time, which he was not. This did not set a good tone as we started our day together. The sightseeing was fine and he was well informed and helpful. The tour included a camel ride, but when we got there he said we had to pay 20Euro extra for the "good" ride. The best part was the cooking experience at his home and with his family. His wife and children were lovely and very welcoming in their home. The meal we made together was delicious and enjoyable. Afterward he led us on a tour through the city market, and took us specifically to places were they were waiting to sell us rugs and other things. This felt very "set up" and not what we wanted - and did not get to spend the time shopping through the market on our own as we would have preferred.

Bilal was such an excellent tour guide! We had a great time exploring a new part of the Medina and learning about its history from B.C.E. to modern day pop culture. We were welcomed into his beautiful home along with his wife and two daughters, where we had so much fun learning about different cooking techniques. Going above and beyond, we got to prepare both tagine and couscous, in addition to bread, dates, olives, salad, tea, fruit, and more. I cannot stress enough how mind blowingly delicious the meal was - the flavors were incredible, better than restaurants, and it was so rewarding to help make it! We left very full, and very satisfied. SHUKRAN to Bilal and family for being such generous and knowledgeable hosts!

Bilal was an amazing host and made my friends and I feel so comfortable at his house! The mini tour to the Berber pharmacy was awesome and preparing the food and mint tea was super fun. The meal was absolutely incredible and I would 100% recommend this experience to anyone who comes to Tangier!! Thank you Bilal and family :)

We did the private cooking class with Bilal and his wife and it was amazing!! Trip to a Berber pharmacy and some history was a great start and they were so so nice. They welcomed us into their beautiful home and the cooking and food were incredible. I can’t recommend this experience enough!!

We had a fantastic experience and really enjoyed cooking session with Bilal and his wife. They welcomed us in their house and made us feel like part of family. Cooking session was great and food was very delicious. All ingredients were fresh and good quality. I can’t wait to cook the dish for my family when i get back home. Bilal has lots of knowledge about Tangier and history of Morocco and has lovely family. It was one of the best experiences and i would recommend this to anyone who likes to cook or wants to learn about the culture of Tangier. Thank you for the amazing day.

What a wonderful way to explore the city and local cuisine. Bilal and his family provide a one of a kind experience. Bilal is kind, knowledgeable and really connected to the community. From the history of the city to the individual design of doors, you’ll leave with a different appreciation of the city. You won’t regret booking this experience. An added bonus is your group photos will always be well captured. Don’t miss out on this Tangier experience!!!

Bilal met us outside the kasbah, took us to the medina to buy the ingredients for our chicken tagine, mint tea, and salad, then back to his place for a cooking class with his wonderful wife, Sana. Unfortunately, today is the last day of Ramadan so they couldn’t join us for the feast but the results were delicious (even though we felt incredibly guilty eating without the rest of the family). We can't recommend this experience highly enough. Bilal is such a lovely warm human being and a generous and knowledgeable guide. Sana is an amazing, gracious woman and a wonderful teacher. I have never eaten so much. Thank you, Bilal and Sana.

This experience was fantastic! Bilal and Sana were amazing hosts, and it was such an authentic experience cooking in their house. They were so fun, and the food was incredibly delicious. It was great to learn about the Medina and the pharmacy on our walk to his house from the port, and he even showed us a beautiful spot to watch the sunset after the cooking class. Recommend to anyone looking for a great experience in Tangier.
