Just 40 minutes from Agadir, a family farm tucked away in the Moroccan countryside opens its doors for a creative and meditative embroidery workshop, rooted in an art that holds a central place in Moroccan artisanal heritage and is passed down from generation to generation within households. Oumayma welcomes you over a mint tea and homemade sweets, before guiding you through the family estate to share the challenges and joys of a return to the land after a career as an economics specialist. It is in this soothing setting, between olive trees and birdsong, that your embroidery workshop takes on its full meaning: Oumayma introduces you to the tools and the movements, stitches, knots and thread tension, before the decisive step, choosing the colours. A vivid Majorelle blue for a touch of modernity, or a soft olive green to stay in harmony with the vegetable garden? Once your pattern is drawn and your threads selected, you transfer your creation onto a tote bag that becomes your canvas. Concentration turns into meditation, and as your hands take to these age-old gestures of Moroccan embroidery, the atmosphere grows warm and the laughter flows. You leave with a unique embroidered bag and the memory of a wonderful encounter in Berber country.

A few tips to avoid any awkward moments: in Morocco, men and women shake hands but do not kiss on the cheek.
