SOUK AU HENNÉ

It is not far from the mausoleum of Moulay Idriss, on a small tree square. The market occupies the part of the former Bimaristane Sidi Frej hospital founded in the 1944 th century by the Merinid, and it remained functional until. This souk specialises in traditional cosmetic and medicinal products. There is obviously the famous henna sheet, which is also sold in powder. It is at the time of special event, Eid, marriage, or baptism that women coat their hands and feet by drawing beautiful arabesques. There are also many other local beauty products: Argan cream and oil, orange flower, ghassoul (clay), black soap, multi-coloured powder, traditional lip-coloured bowl, coquelicot powder bowl for lips and cheeks, hammam gloves and many fragrant essences. If you are lucky, a merchant will probably make a small demonstration of the use of all these devices. This plot is also invested by a few ceramic sellers.
