Itinerary
Day 1
Afternoon workshop session in the historic medina. Please arrive a little early to reach the workshop location inside the narrow lanes.
Arrival & meeting — Marrakech Hand arts
Meet at the workshop entrance inside the medina. Staff will welcome participants, confirm names and the chosen words/expressions for bookmarks.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive 10–15 minutes early; the workshop is inside the Medina's narrow lanes—use 'Jemaa el-Fna, Marrakech' as a clear taxi landmark and allow a short walk from there.
- Have your booking name or voucher ready on your phone to show the host when you arrive.
- If you have limited mobility or large luggage, notify in advance; access involves narrow alleys and possible steps.
Arabic Calligraphy Workshop (hands-on)
A guided 2-hour session with the master calligrapher: short introduction to tools and basic strokes, individual practice, the master writes each participant's name and produces laminated keepsakes and bookmarks. A short break with mint tea and bottled water is included.
Tips from local experts:
- Wear dark or older clothing and avoid long loose sleeves—ink is used and can stain fabrics.
- Bring the exact spelling of names/words (written or on your phone) so the master can confirm the correct Arabic transliteration before composing the piece.
- A short refreshment break includes traditional mint tea and bottled water; tell the host in advance if you have any beverage allergies or strong preferences.
