Come get lost in the centuries-old art form of weaving as you learn from the weavers themselves. Help assemble a loom and learn how to weave designs into Moroccan rugs.

 

From 10 AM to 2 PM:  Our Transportation will pick you up from Azrou (at your lodging or other prearranged location) at 10am and bring you to the weaving cooperative in Ait Yahya Oualla, located 4 km from Azrou. Upon arrival you will be served Moroccan tea and cookies, meet the weavers, and learn about their cooperative and rug-weaving basics. All presentations will be in English (or French upon advance request).

 

Once teatime concludes, the real fun begins! You will actively participate in the assembly of a weaving loom, immersing yourself in a tradition that has been handed down for centuries, from generation to generation. You will witness firsthand the main technical steps involved in making a rug. Sitting side by side with the weavers, you'll lend a hand in tying various knots and pounding away at a rug. After concluding your weaving lesson you’ll have the option of indulging in a home-made Moroccan lunch, tajin. Not only will you gain the rewarding experience of helping to create a handcrafted Moroccan rug, but you will also gain new friendships and lasting memories.
