I am living in Marrakech and in our new place I don't have an oven, and don't really want to buy anything expensive as we will only be here for a few months.  I would like to make cakes/biscuits (and possibly bread), but is this going to be possible without an oven?  I have a tagine, could I re-purpose that to make some sort of cake or biscuit? 
They absolutely do. They're "dried" but they're not really dry. They will continue to dry out until they become grainy and weird. Most dried fruit is this way, with the exception of freeze dried fruit, which has the opposite problem: once you open it, it absorbs moisture from the air, and gets gummy and gross.
