Description

Fresh ingredients from the local market

The workshop begins with sourcing ingredients. On Mondays, when the local market takes place, we visit the souk in M’hamid to choose vegetables, herbs, and spices from local vendors. On other days, ingredients are purchased from a small local shop, based on what is available at the time.

Outdoor tagine cooking in the Sahara

Cooking takes place on the dunes, where a temporary outdoor kitchen is set up. Carpets, low tables, and traditional cookware create a simple working space in the open desert. A fire is lit, and embers are prepared for slow cooking.

Cooking a tagine – step by step

Chef Moha guides the group through each step. He demonstrates cutting techniques, explains how meat and vegetables are layered in the tagine, and talks about spices and how they are used in Moroccan cooking. Once prepared, the tagines are placed on the embers and left to cook slowly.

While the food cooks, time is spent by the fire. Live music accompanies the waiting period, with desert blues played in the open space of the dunes.

Time to enjoy a shared meal

The workshop concludes with a shared meal, prepared together from start to finish.

Being so close to the unearthly nature of the desert while enjoying the comfort of a camp simply represents the best of both worlds.

Our experience at Agata & Mohammed appeared to become the best experience we had in our entire trip to Morocco.

This place is an absolute gem! The hospitality of the family that works here is beyond outstanding. They make you feel at home, and introduce you to an experience that is nothing short of magical.

Mohamed and Agata’s desert oasis was nothing short of visually spectacular, and completely comfortable. We had an experience that words cannot do justice, you’ll just have to see for yourself.

Erin, USA

As other reviews say, think no more – you’ve found your place to stay in the Sahara. The stay was surprisingly comfortable – a hot shower, wifi and comfortable beds were more than we expected.

Madara, Latvia

…Your desert story starts here! The most beautiful camp and also very comfortable with everything you need. Beautiful dunes where you can walk all day.

Pia, Germany

The place is magical, the catering on site is excellent! I had an excellent stay, my head still in the stars. The experience in the desert was exceptional.

Julie, France

A fabulous desert camp far enough away from the village to be isolated, yet accessible by a hire car. Great dinner and a lovely communal chill out area for day time.

Dave, UK

This place is just magic! Beautiful landscape, great food and very friendly, welcoming hosts :) it’s away from other dwellings, so quiet and peaceful. I could truly experience the desert.

Jacek, Poland

The whole site is beautifully presented and the room is clean and spacious. It is remarkable what has been achieved in desert surroundings. Both Agata and Moha are extremely kind and friendly.

Beautiful camp with stunning sights. Agata, Mohamed and their staff were very friendly and welcoming. They cooked the best tajine we had on our whole trip.
