LA CAVERNE D'ALI BABA
Read moreThe diversity of historical arts of the region (Berber, Tuareg and Arab) is piled up neatly in this den that bears its name well. We make our way between the mirrors with sumptuous mosaics, we avoid a sculpture of a horse of one meter high, we sink on tiptoe to reach the last treasures nestled at the bottom of the store. Fairytale atmosphere guaranteed. A place to stroll quietly to find a little freshness in the middle of the day and maybe bring back a nice souvenir at home.
YAHYA
Read moreThe art of coppersmithing has been part of the country's heritage since the 12thcentury . A number of craftsmen have managed to keep up the momentum and create innovative pieces, like Yahya, a light sculptor who devotes a cult following to his work. His showroom is like a gallery, where you can browse through luminaires, mirrors and photophores, jagged and sculpted to perfection in brass, copper or bronze, a fusion of tradition and contemporary art. A house celebrated in the royal palace and around the world. A true masterpiece!
MARCHÉ DE LA PLACE DES ÉPICES
Read moreBefore it became a place for spices and wicker baskets, this square was a market for grain and... slaves! A practice that was only officially abolished in 1920. Today, it is good to stroll in the shops of the apothecaries who will explain to you, with joy, that their magic potions are able to solve all your ills. It is here that you will find the largest choice of spices but beware, haggling is really necessary!
JAMADE
Read moreAn atmosphere which recounts the shops at the Marais district in Paris, while Jemaâ el-Fna is just a few hundred metres... As in the capital, you pay setting: prices blown a little for most products. The interest of Jamade resides in the pretty watercolours of Marrakech. One rather rarely see this type of paintings in the region.
PEINTURE SUR BOIS
Read moreThis small workshop sells mainly paintings made on wooden supports. Their own resides in the fact that these supports are the traditional slate used in elementary schools of mosques.
BOUTIQUE NUMÉRO 41
Read moreCommon copper objects, this metal from the nearby mines of Irgherm.

Welcome to the world of Anne and Jean-Marc, designers who have been living in Morocco for 14 years and who have opened this workshop in the street that leads to the Kasbah. You can find beautiful lighting fixtures in metal and wood, and cement tile coasters. There are also magnificent labyrinthine paintings, tables, mirrors, boxes and accessories designed in very small series to bring home (or offer) an almost unique design object.
ARTINGIS GALERIE D'ART ET LIVRES ANCIENS
Read moreInstalled in the old rue Velasquez since 2010, Artingis has the charm of a well-kept secret: very small and very neat, this gallery specializes in old books on Morocco and travel. Fine arts, literature, collections of books and old posters, orientalist sculptures, old maps and photographs of the Cherifian kingdom... With its cabinet of curiosities look, Artingis will turn the heads of the amateurs. An ideal place to find a beautiful old souvenir of Morocco, whatever your budget. Charming welcome.

They are presented in beldi glass, the famous Moroccan tea glass from the 1940s, under a pompom lid and in a colorful packaging. A good address to bring back a unique gift.
ART TISSAGE TAM
Read moreThrough the centuries, the village of Tameslohte has become a master in the art of textiles. A tradition that the craftsmen holding this invaluable know-how were not willing to see die out. The Art tissage Tam cooperative therefore strives to train young generations of weavers, seamstresses and embroiderers, but also to offer high quality products, entirely hand-made and based on organic raw materials (cotton, linen, wool, vegetable silk). Beyond the loom, it is also the village that this initiative helps to sustain life.
NOUREDDINE - CARREAUX SCULPTÉS
Read moreWe love this picturesque little square in the Mellah district, where the shadow of Orson Welles still hangs over us. In his small workshop, just across the street from the Bistro, Noureddine works with ceramic tiles. There you will find traditional painted zellige, imported from Fez, but above all pieces with more pop motifs, sculpted in front of you with great dexterity by this affable craftsman. A pleasant stopover in this district where you can observe the life of a medina still intact.
KAM DESIGN
Read moreThe young brand Kam Design is a boutique/workshop that offers all kinds of tableware, from olive wood cutlery to ceramic tableware and beldi glass. We also like the decorative objects such as stylized cactus and vases with a sixties look. These pieces are the result of artisanal work that uses the ancestral know-how of Moroccan culture combined with modern lines and motifs. The result is full of freshness, enough to give your future meals the taste of summer and vacations.

SOUFIANE ZARIB
Read moreSufiane Zarib learned the art of carpeting from her father, who in turn learned it from his father. Today, he concentrates on design and the choice of materials. Their transformation as well as the making of the carpets are entrusted to some 500 employees. It takes no less than that to satisfy the orders of his customers, who are fond of these woven pictures. Soufiane's favourite area is the Beni Ourain, a thick ecru carpet recognizable by its rhombuses. The creator is inspired by tradition but does not exclude a touch of modernity.
BEN RAHAL
Read moreA solution for all those who abhor haggling: go directly to Ben Rahal's house, which is no longer on display in Marrakech since they have been in business for over 60 years. That's how well they know the subject. Any other reason? It's a shop for connoisseurs, frequented by decorators and interior designers. There, the most beautiful carpets from Moroccan tribes are gathered, some of which are magnificent, dating from the 70s and can even be used as wall decorations. We are far from the tourist attractions that sell reproductions...
KADER BRONZE
Read moreIn this store, you will find many objects made of bronze or other metals: lamps, chandeliers, Berber jewelry, chiseled trays ... You can also appreciate the direct work of the son of one of the artists who participated in the restoration of the royal palace. These techniques are passed down from generation to generation and like most traditional crafts in Morocco, the designs are created as they go along. Don't hesitate to take a tour of the second floor where several paintings by Moroccan artists are on display.
AUX MERVEILLES DU TAPIS
Read moreHere we are in the kingdom of carpets, in this splendid 14th century house! Here, the sale is transformed into an exhibition full of colors and patterns. From ancient carpets to more recent ones, passing by Berber and Fassi carpets, the merchants unroll one by one the handmade creations of the women, who meticulously weave them according to their traditional techniques. All the carpets on display have a history, are inspected and have a certification of origin label. Even without buying, the visit is worth it just for the pleasure of the eyes!
BOHÈME OF MORROCO
Read moreNostalgic for the golden age of macramé, this shop, nestled in one of the alleys of the medina, is a dedication. Wall decorations, ornate wicker baskets... the unbleached cotton thread is the king here. In Bohemia of Morroco, there is more than that of course: more traditional objects of local craftsmanship such as carpets, crockery and animal heads made of straw, antique objects and original creations are also to be found there. In this concept-store, the "beldi" standards are sometimes challenged to offer nice objects. A nice address.
MEDIN'ART

In this well-organized shop, you will discover a beautiful series of handmade items made with local materials: clothing, jewelry and various accessories.

BOUTIQUE MAJID ANTIQUES
Read moreIf you manage to find Majid's shop, you won't be disappointed. It is surely the best stocked antique shop in Tangier. Hidden somewhere between the carpets of this old shop is a small man with a mischievous smile who imposes a rule on all visitors to his shop: that of going up to the top floor to enjoy the view of the medina. Jewellery, works of art, carpets, clothes and pieces of all kinds are piled up here. Prices are high, but as everywhere in Morocco, negotiation will allow you to find the balance.
MAISON DE BRODERIE ET DE BROCART DE FÈS
Read moreRenowned for the quality of its work, this family business offers all Fez stitch embroideries, which have the particularity of being reversible. They are handmade by embroiderers who imagine the patterns as they are made. A craft work perpetuated from generation to generation, of which you can appreciate all the subtleties here. Beautiful bed sheets, tablecloths, towels and cushions in particular.
SARSAR & ABDALLAH
Read moreIn this small shop of Souikat Bab Doukkala, Sarsar and Abdellah show their art. One paints on canvas, the other on metal plate, diverting with sometimes a touch of second degree and humour from scenes of Moroccan daily life. More often, trades or archetypes are represented in a naive and colourful style. Other plates of the same type can be seen here and there in the medina, but these seem to be of good workmanship. The prices can be negotiated, but it is necessary to stop at the right moment.
BACHA 15
Read moreA small shop run by Youssef and Tarik who have fallen in love with the traditional pottery of Tamegroute, a village located in the Draâ valley. Known for its library of precious books, it is also known for its characteristic green ceramics. "The clay used at Tamegroute naturally contains copper," says Youssef. The enamel is also charged with it. The shop offers several everyday objects, from small cups to vases. Pretty blankets and woven fabrics are also eye-catching. The reception is pleasant.
NOUSS NOUSS
Read moreThis pretty shop combines Nabil's unbridled imagination, Adelaïde's taste for DIY and Jacques' knowledgeable eye. The three of them, in love with Tangier, go on a hunt and up-cycle a lot of objects. Old wooden washing boards become candle holders, coloured cotton threads are woven to create grigris, cake moulds are transformed into cutlery trays... Nouss Nouss is a Tangier expression that means "half and half". This expression is also used by the Cinematheque's cafeteria for its café au lait.
LE BEAU BIZARRE
Read moreLe Beau Bizarre is a "cabinet of curiosities" to quote the shop's owners. Here, African and Moroccan art objects, as well as paintings, are all chosen with care. Statuettes rub shoulders with antique jewellery, ceremonial masks are lit by desk lamps. Somewhere between a specialized antique shop and the back room of an ethnographic museum, the address offers singular objects. The fashion designer Inès de la Fressange is one of the visitors. A beautiful collection that invites you to travel.
BOUTIKASBAH
Read moreOn the edge of the medina, on the busy Rue de la Kasbah, this store offers a few decorative items and knick-knacks in a very uncluttered setting. Mugs, crockery, candles, glasses or embroidered textiles rub shoulders with babouches, jewelry, bags, dream traps on shelves wisely aligned. The concept is simple, artists and craftsmen have a mini exhibition space and sell the fruit of their production. You will find here original ideas for gifts and decoration, tinged with orientalism, but not too much. Wide selection of products.
MARRAKINE
Read moreCarpets... carpets... and more carpets, all picked up by the owner Alix, who has been living in Morocco for several years. Marrakech has found its new shopping address in the heart of Guéliz in this tiny shop. The selection offers a beautiful showcase of Moroccan know-how and a palette of varied styles and materials. Buying at Alix is also the guarantee of a fixed price, which seems expensive, but fair (here we honorably pay our suppliers). Here, as elsewhere, we offer you to manage your shipments to Europe easily.
