The best fashion and gift stores Morocco

A must if you want to shop in Merzouga. You'll find everything from goldsmiths and Berber jewelry to traditional clothing, lamps, carpets, knives and swords... The secrets of Berber and Touareg carpets can be explained over a cup of mint tea. The building, with its traditional architecture, houses a fine array of crafts from various Berber and Bedouin tribes. Carpets are the mainstay of this originally well-stocked boutique, where oriental savoir-faire is reflected in the beauty of the fabrics.

Located in the popular district of the same name, Casabarata draws a triangle between the place of Morocco and the avenue Abou El Kacem Acharif Sebti. It is the ideal place to find good deals.

It is also the official dresser of the old Rif cinema, built in 1921 and resurrected in the fashion of the 1950s. Take a small cab and ask the driver to drop you off at the market.

Just as Paris has its bouquinistes along the Seine, Marrakech has its own along the ramparts near the Bab Doukkala bus station.

Oleander (the pink and white flowers of the Moroccan landscape) is what Ulili, the Moroccan brand that inspired Omar Benjelloun, a young entrepreneur with a nose for business, is all about. In 2011, he launches into a project like no other: to create candles, the ones that could transcribe the memories of his childhood. These candles are obviously poetic, since each one is inspired by an olfactory story, that of the smells of Morocco interpreted in the language of fragrance. You will find Hafa, Musk E'lil, Tazarine and other candles... and others.

Originally from Salé, Fadila El Gadi ended up making a name for herself on the catwalks in the world of haute couture. Her collections are a mix between ancestral tradition, luxury and comfort.

It is difficult not to think of Frida Khalo, an extravagant Mexican artist who lived in the 20th century, when you look at this recent boutique in the Carré des créateurs, in the Cherifa souk. First of all, the name, but also, for example, these multiple portraits of women in traditional clothing (Berber in this case), small formats with bright colours and ethnic motifs. But at Frida and I, we can also find a lot of other little treasures to take back to our friends (wicker bags, travel bags...). A poetic and rather girly shop.

The Menara Mall, with its 90 stores, children's playground and 17 restaurants, is one of those huge shopping malls that are springing up in the heart of African capitals. One of its ambitions is to modernize the souk experience. Also, some of the aisles have been laid out like alleys in the medina. The real show is outside, at nightfall when Marrakchis, in a certain effervescence, take possession of any green space nearby, to picnic or eat an ice cream.

The Jewish quarter of the Mellah has three markets where it is good to stroll.

The covered market is home to fabric stalls and an array of haberdashers. The spice souk offers an impressive variety of spices and seeds and tubers of all kinds, but also common products such as black soap, henna or ghassoul.

Once a camel market, Bab Khmiss is now a large flea market. Its name means "Thursday's door", because it is only on this day that the bargain hunters could have a good time. The second-hand dealers and the other emptying of attics can henceforth settle all the week, close to the hard shops and some more specialized craftsmen (brassware, pottery, joinery). Thursdays are still a favourite day, as well as Sundays, because more people come to buy and look around.
