At first, the Jiddi Mohamed boutique, now known as the 110 Medina but formerly known as the Etoile Bazaar, looks like all of the souk. Yet, by searching a little, there are real pearls, especially with regard to leather bags and pouches. Good value for money.

As soon as you enter this store, you feel the good vibes of Brigitte, the creator of this pretty concept-store. Passionate about decoration and beautiful materials, she has no equal in advising you, but especially in finding unique accessories for the house. Baskets, stoneware, dishes, paintings, carpets... all minimalist as its name indicates, but responding to a modern art of living and which would find its place in any kind of space. We come out of it with a desire to give some pep to our interior.

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.

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.

This industrial-style concept store/tea room, with its large glass roof and English-style furniture, offers a selection of top-of-the-range products ranging from argan oil to organic products, as well as tasteful decorative objects: mirrors, household linen or designer accessories...

Healthy lunch menu: light dishes, soups, quiches and salads.

The Jewish quarter of the Mellah has three markets where it is good to stroll. Rather frequented by the inhabitants of the neighboring streets, you will not be solicited as in the alleys of the medina. The jewelers' souk gathers about fifty merchants, selling mainly gold. 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.

The art of coppersmithing has been part of the country's heritage since the 12th^century . 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!

On the way to the desert, here's a pleasant stop where you can learn more about fossils and discover the workshops of craftsmen who transform them into beautiful decorative objects, before wandering through the showrooms where you can buy a few souvenirs, at fixed prices. From pretty tables and fountains in fossilized marble to semi-precious stones, polished fossils and stone sculptures, you're unlikely to leave empty-handed! You can feel the commercial side of the place, but the visit is interesting enough to learn more about the world of fossils.

Darna means "our house" in Arabic. It is an association that helps women and children in need. The association tries to integrate them by entrusting them with projects. In addition to the restaurant and the famous Friday couscous, the space includes a small craft shop where you can buy objects created by the women. The profits made finance the projects. Darna is a beautiful association that has allowed many women to find a place in society. We highly recommend a visit.

Just across the street, you will find clothing: colorful ethnic style, for women and men, but also unique leather bags. Finally, perched on the terrace, there is the restaurant with its panoramic view and its separate corners that invite you to relax. In short, three in one, to ensure you a good moment of shopping-relaxation. We validate.

The name of this store will make you learn some useful darija words since it means "no problem". Colorful hand-woven textiles, engravings, bags, jewelry, a nice selection of 100% local creations, recycled objects, small furniture... this is what this kind of atypical gallery-boutique offers. You should know that it actively participates in a social program and that part of its profits are donated to the charity Project 91 which organizes, among other things, training for young people.

The latest addition to the city since the inauguration of the famous M Avenue, this concept store is just one more of the boutiques we love. Why so much success? It's easy, you can find a lot of decorative objects, fashion accessories and designer clothes. We like to touch the silky fabrics of tunics or gandouras, smell the perfume of candles or try a unique necklace. Moroccan brands often appeal to artists who have the sensitivity and the sharp eye to perfect their style, why not you?
