Discover the warmth of a family whose hospitality has touched the hearts of guests from around the world, carrying forward Mama Ghita’s legacy through every shared meal, every conversation and every welcome.
Our story
Mama Ghita was the mother of Younesse Alami, her youngest son. Her way of cooking, of caring for people and of making room at the table is the foundation of everything that carries her name today.
She did not talk about hospitality. She practised it — every day, quietly, for anyone who arrived. Bread made in the morning. Tea poured before anyone asked. A place laid for the person who might come.
“Where care becomes prayer”
Our next retreat
Ramadan lived the way it is lived at home: slow mornings, the market in the afternoon, and the table set together before the fast is broken. Hosted by Younesse Alami and family.
Morocco · Twelve nights
A gentle inner pilgrimage through the ten holy days of Dhul Hijjah — remembrance, simplicity and shared devotion, drawn from Sufi tradition. Twelve nights, led by Salima Adelstein, hosted by Younesse Alami and family.
Morocco · Seven nights, 2027
Mark the birth of the Prophet amid the colour and joy of Morocco — seven nights of celebration, devotion and walking in the footsteps of the saints. Hosted by Younesse Alami and family.
Recipes
These are her dishes, written down. Cook them in Rabat or in a small flat a long way from it — the point was always that someone else gets fed.
Cook with Younesse
Younesse Alami is Mama Ghita’s youngest son. He learned this food in her kitchen and cooks it the same way — filmed step by step, so you can make it in yours.

Keep in touch
A note when there is something worth sharing: a new recipe, a retreat opening, a story from the kitchen, or a date to cook together. Nothing more often than that.
