Crafts to discover Morocco

From Bab Talar, your steps will naturally take you to the Chraïtine Souk, the leather shop, reserved for the sale of objects made in open air near the square of Ben Youssef. Chraïtine Souk was once the string quarter (chraïtine) for the city workers or the harness of the camels. This large, lighted artery filled with carpets, bags and other braided baskets of rattan will lead you to the Chouari Souk. It is in this street that is painted and that the maroquineries sold by the craftsmen are being cleaned.

Less touristic than those inside the ramparts. A space is reserved for them, outside the ramparts. However, we recommend arriving early to enjoy the show. Indeed, the men of the mountains and surrounding villages go down with their goods that they will trade or sell before going to their weekly market. It is an important place of exchange in the region, particularly interesting around 10am, when the activity is at its peak, and when sheep and lambs run among grocers and carpet merchants..
