Staying for our last four days and three nights at the Asmaa Riad (Agadir) -- ending our 11- day Moroccan tour and after much hoopla and beauty from Morocco’s mid-Atlantic coast e.g., Sini Ifni & Mirleft to its inner Taroudant & Marrakesh, was a perfect way to end our vacation. Impressive! Asmaa’s Riad is a traditionally elegant well-manicured Moroccan styled miniature palace. Our first view inside the Riad was heavenly. The interior secret gardens come with a meditative path. Our Junior Suite faced directly into the center courtyard’s refreshing pool. Now we could really relax. We were inside the heart of this palace and its architecture splendor. Moroccan Cooking Class Moroccan Tajine cooking class fresh meatball (Paleo) tomato sauce. After our first night with Asmaa & her staffs Moroccan cooking, I was grateful to take a personal 1:1 cooking class with Asmaa. Amazingly, I quickly learned how to use the traditional clay Tajine to make fresh tomato sauce and small fresh beef meatballs served with Couscous, fresh vegetable and for desert fresh sliced papaya and oranges picked right off of her tree. Personalized health-oriented and Moroccan culture excursions Asmaa offered us personalized healthy and safe excursions into the Agadir countryside to mediate to an impressive real-world visit to the Cooperative Argan Commune Rurale de Draga Agadir. Here we saw firsthand how the individual woman’s contributions in teamwork and collectively accomplishing a rewarding business goal. We learned how Argan oil is processed from the beginning to the end! Always understated and not pushy, Asmaa has local wares, spices, ceramics, and garments for sale. This meant that we did not have to barter in the bigger towns for any trinket to bring back home with us!!

Leaving to go back home to Switzerland!!!

Beautiful villa in a beautiful setting.
