The Luxury Fez Tours Cooking Class with Market Visit is a half-day cooking experience in Fes, in Morocco's Fès-Meknès region, operated by Luxury Fez Tours. The listing does not state how long the operator has been running. Pickup is at 9:30am from a riad or hotel in Fès el-Bali, the old medina, which makes the experience a morning activity that ends around the middle of the day. The first part is a visit to a souk market in the medina, where participants see the vegetables, herbs, spices and other ingredients that Fassi cooks use. The second part is a cooking class in which participants prepare Moroccan dishes themselves. The listing does not give the number of dishes, the location of the kitchen, or the balance of savoury and sweet, and these should be confirmed when booking; classes of this kind usually centre on savoury dishes such as tagines and salads. The price starts at about $74 (roughly MAD 690) per person. The listed inclusions are the souk market visit, the cooking class and the pickup from the riad or hotel. Whether the meal of the cooked dishes, drinks and gratuities are included is not spelled out in the listing, so visitors should check this before paying. The duration is given as a half day. Group size, guide language and pace are not described in the listing and should be confirmed with the operator. Dietary substitutions are not mentioned; vegetarian visitors and those with allergies should inform the operator before the class so that the menu can be planned. The activity runs year-round and suits visitors who prefer a hotel pickup and a morning schedule, since it avoids having to find the kitchen independently in the medina's maze of lanes.

When to visit
The 9:30am start catches the souk when it is lively and the produce is fresh, and the class runs year-round with spring and autumn the most comfortable seasons.
Accessibility
The market visit is on foot through uneven medina lanes with steps, so the experience is not well suited to wheelchair users; visitors with mobility needs should ask the operator about alternatives.
