Prices are high at this general antiques and jewelry store in the kasbah—so bargain hard! They can (reliably) organize international shipping and also accept credit cards.
32 Best Places to Shop in Medina, Marrakesh
Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Medina right now.
From dried fruit to handbags, carpets to candlesticks, the jumbled labyrinth of merchants and artisan workshops to be found in the souks of the Marrakesh medina is one of the wonders of the city, where all manner of curious exotic items can be found. It stretches north from Place Djemâa el Fna to Ali ben Youssef Medersa. Each souk has a name that defines its specialty and that relates to the crafts guilds that used to control each area.
Heading north from Bab Fteuh square, near Place Djemâa el Fna, the souks are laid out roughly as follows:
Souk Semmarine: textiles and souvenirs; Souk Rahba Kdima: spices, herbs, apothecaries, woolen hats, baskets; Souk el-Kebir: carpets, leather goods, and wood wares; Souk Zarbia: carpets; Souk des Bijoutiers/Souk Tagmoutyime: jewelry; Souk el-Attarine: polished copper and brass and mirrors; Souk des Babouches/Souk Smata: leather slippers; Souk des Teinturiers/Souk Sebbaghine: fabric and wool. Several other souks—including Souk Chouari: wood-carpenters; Souk Haddadine: blacksmiths; and Souk Cherratine: leatherworkers—are at the northern end.
Generally, credit cards are not accepted here, except at the more upmarket bazaars and shops. Most places are open daily from 9 to 9, though some places close on Friday. A small side market called Souk Cherifia is located at the northern end of the souks beyond Souk Haddadine. The ground floor sells standard touristic items, but go up to the second floor near the entrance to La Terrasse des Épices restaurant and you’ll find several fascinating little boutique outlets by up-and-coming young Marrakesh-based designers.
