What to expect
Medina of Marrakesh
We will start by visiting the workshops of local artisans (leather goods, blacksmiths, carpenters, dyers, etc. and many others). We will visit some of the best showrooms, bazaars and shops, to discover the best products of our crafts, which one cannot find at first glance! From furniture to jewelry, lamps, accessories, rugs and Caftan… everything is in this one-of-a-kind tour!
150 minutes
The dyers' souk is located in the Medina, near the Mouassine spring and the mosque of the same name, in the western half of the tangle of streets. Although this souk lost its activity several years ago with the increasing use of industrial dyes, you can still see some small workshops where traditional dyeing is still practiced.
15 minutes
Souk Semmarine
Considered the main artery of the souks of the Medina, Souk Semmarine is accessible from Place Jemaa El Fna, in a derb (medina alley) of the same name. A name that it takes from the farriers who once occupied this strategic place to shoe the animals of the caravanners, while the latter did their usual shopping. Today, the Souk Semmarine is a very colorful shopping avenue where you can find mainly merchants of fabrics, souvenirs, crafts but also unique addresses for Moroccan antiques. It represents the entrance to the specialized souks: spices, carpets, fabrics, slippers... A veritable Ali Baba's cave.
