Rug Making Workshop in Marrakech

So fun! My favorite part of my trip to Marrakech, i highly recommend this experience. Hajar was the best teacher!

Authentic experience 100% recommend
Don’t leave without giving this a go. We absolutely loved learning how to weave a knot carpet from these lovely ladies. This is such a great organisation teaching women both local and tourists the traditional art of carpet weaving. We got to see an expert at work while we got individual help to create our own little carpet which is such a lovely take home from our Moroccan holiday. It honestly felt like learning with friends. Thank you for such an amazing time!!

Must do!
Really nice experience to get an idea of the technique of rug making. Must do! Very well guided in both English or French

Best part of our trip & the most realistic/authentic tourist experience
We had an absolutely delightful experience taking a rug-making class while in Marrakech! The class is held at a government-sponsored traditional art training center, which made it feel authentic and meaningful. The women who led the class were incredibly warm, welcoming, and lovely. It felt less like a formal class and more like sitting with friends, sharing stories, and learning together.

They patiently demonstrated the traditional techniques and were so excited to share their craft and experiences with us. It was fascinating to see their passion for this art form and to get hands-on experience creating something unique.

This class is a perfect blend of fun, creativity, and cultural connection. If you’re in Marrakech and looking for something interactive and meaningful, I highly recommend it! It’s a beautiful way to support traditional crafts and connect with the local community beyond the standard cooking class. This is very hands on.

Hajar is wonderful!
Loved this workshop. Hajar was fabulous and patient with us as we learned a new talent. My friend and I were both beginners and easily finished one of the medium level symbols. It was fun, cultural, and simple.
