Mellah district, home to 3 covered souks, including the clothing and fabric souk, the jewelry souk and the spice souk

As early as 1558, the Jewish population of Marrakech was gathered in this 18-hectare neighborhood by order of the Saadian Sultan Moulay Abdallah, who was not kidding about mixing populations and religions. Today, a small Jewish community of about 200 people still lives there in good harmony with its Muslim neighbors. It is possible to visit the Mellah synagogue and its cemetery. Three covered souks are held in the Mellah: the spice souk, the fabric souk and the jewelry souk. About sixty merchants work mainly with gold.

Quartier authentique
Le quartier juif m'a paru plus authentique que les souks de la médina, moins touristique. De belles façades, de belles portes, des marchands d'épices et d'huile.

Attention à ne pas vous balader seule, de nuit!
Quartier fort intéressant pour y acheter, à bon marché, les épices, les huiles, et se ravitailler en épicerie locale pour des souvenirs des plus authentiques et bien moins chers que sur la place des épices!

Attention, cependant: quartier mal fréquenté et dangereux de nuit pour les personnes seules, car désert et mal surveillé. Les habitants m’ont prévenue, car je suis une femme et je suis partie en voyage en solo.

Un Plaisir
Agréable ballade dans les boutiques d'épices ou encore d'huile d'argan.C'est une occasion d'acheter quelque chose de local.

Quartier agréable
Quartier sympathique avec des petits restos, des boutiques dans lesquelles les vendeurs sont moins "agressifs", bref un endroit agréable pour passer un bon moment...
