Photography and cookery holidays in Morocco – Kate’s glowing review

We couldn’t wait to share with you all Kate’s fantastic review of our Photography and Cookery holiday in Essaouira this April. On Kate’s 7 night/8 day photography and cookery holiday, which is set in bustling coastal town of Essaouira, she couldn’t help but fall in love with the culture, food and photography opportunities that this enchanting town has to offer. You’ll see why in a moment…

I have just returned from one of the best holidays ever! Maison du Sud is perfectly situated in the centre of the busy Medina of Essaouira and yet once you step inside the riad you are greeted with a wonderfully calm and relaxed atmosphere. The hotel staff are all extremely friendly and helpful and the rooms clean,comfortable, spacious and full of character. 

I was staying at Maison du Sud whilst on a photography holiday with Darren. As an enthusiastic amateur I was keen to improve my photography skills; Darren is a fantastic tutor, with seemingly endless patience and encouragement he taught me how to get the best from my camera, through both technique and composition. 

In addition to the photography I was lucky enough to spend 2 great days cooking traditional Moroccan dishes with Darren’s wife Naima. Darren and Naima were extremely generous hosts and both went to great lengths to ensure that my visit to Essaouira was one to remember.

I can’t recommend this holiday highly enough and am hoping to return next year!
