Overview

This workshop offers a rare immersion in the traditional craft of cedar wood, a precious species typical of Morocco. Unlike simple visits, you are actively involved in every step of the process, from the raw piece of wood to the finished product. You benefit from the personalised support of skilled craftsmen in a real local workshop.
The experience is enriched by a tasting of Moroccan pastries, a visit to the Argana Crafts Shop complex, a musical moment and a fitting of traditional outfits for a total immersion in Moroccan culture.
This is one of the only experiences in Marrakech where you create and leave with your own handcrafted chess game of 24×12×5.5 cm
