Where to shop in Marrakech |
|
Shopping in Marrakech means browsing the SOUKS for the local crafts still made in small workshops not far from Djemaa El-Fna Square. The streets that cross Mohammed V Avenue have a number of interesting boutiques, especially RUE DE LA LIBERTÉ, with the highest concentration of chic shops in the city. In fact, it's in that Gueliz district's wide avenues that you'll have most of Marrakech's galleries and shops. The ones you should not miss are the following:
Galerie Serghini
Leather rules at this shop presenting a wide range of fashions and accessories. It's just one of the essential stops in Gueliz, with belts, jackets, and bags in high-quality Moroccan leather as the best buys.
Matisse Art Gallery
Contemporary Moroccan artists are featured in this gallery located in the heart of the Gueliz district. There are also works by early 20th century artists and sometimes foreign works, but the goal of this space is to promote local artists.
Michele Baconnier
French artist Michele Baconnier has based herself in Marrakech, creating colorful works inspired by the exotic designs of Asia, Turkey, and Morocco. Her shop offers handmade carpets, jewelry, and lamps, among other pieces.
Amira
If you're interested in new Moroccan design, it is worth getting in a taxi and going to this showroom just a few minutes from the center of the city. You'll love the homewares, ceramics, candles, and candlesticks.
AKBAR DELIGHTS - Place Bab Fteuh
Indian fabrics, scarves, shawls, belts, slippers, and jewelry are just some of the delights at this boutique. Many of the pieces are actually from India, but you'll be reminded that you're in Marrakech by the old photographs of Moroccan kings around the place.
BELDI - 9-11 Rue Mouassinee
Tourists always stop at this tiny wood-lined shop for its fine selection of men's and women's clothing in Moroccan-style colors and fabrics. It's not cheap, but you'll probably be tempted to get the fine linen shirts, the velvet coats, or top-quality pillowcases.
