Argan Oil Workshop with Berber Women & Pickup

Learn how to make argan oil from local Berber women in a cooperative on a trip from Marrakech. Try cracking argan nuts and making oil using traditional tools, and taste local products. Begin your journey with a comfortable pickup from your accommodation in Marrakech. After a short scenic drive through the beautiful landscapes surrounding the city, arrive at a local women’s cooperative dedicated to producing traditional argan oil. At the cooperative, local Berber women will warmly welcome you and introduce you to the traditional process of making argan oil by hand. See how the argan nuts are cracked between stones, roasted, and carefully pressed to produce the rich golden oil that Morocco is famous for. This is not just a demonstration—you will also have the opportunity to participate in the process yourself. Try cracking the argan nuts, grinding them using traditional tools, and helping transform the kernels into pure argan oil. It’s a hands-on cultural experience that connects you directly with local traditions and craftsmanship. During your visit, learn about the many benefits of argan oil for cooking, skincare, and health. Enjoy a tasting session of traditional Moroccan products such as fresh bread with argan oil and Amlou, a delicious local specialty. Return to Marrakech with a deeper understanding of Moroccan traditions and the opportunity to purchase authentic argan products directly from the cooperative if you wish.
