Learn the secrets of preparing a variety of Moroccan specialties during this memorable cooking demonstration and lunch at Umayya Restaurant.
Depart the pier for the scenic 30-minute panoramic drive along the Corniche -- the road that leads along the Atlantic Ocean en route to Anfa. Anfa is an elegant residential district perched on a hill overlooking the city of Casablanca. Broad avenues, green parks and magnificent villas in various architectural styles adorn this area.
Your first stop is the bustling Central Market, home to a cavalcade of color, charm, street musicians, a fish market, charming handicrafts, and spices.
You will proceed to Umayya, where an informative cooking demonstration follows. Learn about the spices and methods used to create a variety of Moroccan entrées and desserts. Afterward, a lunch consisting of the featured dishes is served.
Your tour ends with a 30-minute drive back to the pier.
Notes:
Not advisable for guests using a wheelchair or for those with mobility limitations. Some dishes must be prepared ahead of time -- the class is for demonstration only, and the menu varies. Wear comfortable shoes. Shade is limited; to avoid sunburn, wear light, long clothing suitable for use as a cover-up. Bring a hat and sunglasses; wear biodegradable sunscreen. Bring bottled water. Modest attire is required; knees, shoulders and midriffs must be covered. Do not take photos of military personnel without their consent. Mind your belongings at all times, particularly at the market.
