3 Best Places to Shop in Taroudant, Agadir and the Southern Atlantic Coast

Background Illustration for Shopping

Taroudant is famous for leather: there are 200 shops in Taroudant dedicated to sandals alone. A walk down even the quietest of streets will feature the incessant tap-tapping of cordwainers at work. Other local products include saffron and lavender, sold by the ounce in herbal stores. The locally pressed olive and argan oils are nationally renowned; ask the herbalists if they can get you a liter. You can also pick up antique jewelry in Taroudant from local Muslim and Jewish Berber tribes.

Antiquaire Haut Atlas

For serious collectors, this shop has one of the best collections of Amazigh jewelry in southern Morocco, some of it dating from the 17th and 18th centuries. Even if you're not in the market for a trinket, wandering around the dusty rooms of carpets, candlesticks, and charms makes for a diverting half hour. And if you are in the market, Mr. Houssaine accepts all major credit cards and is open every day.

Sculpteur de Pierre

Here's the best place to go for sculpture, both for quality and range of workmanship. Craftsman Larbi El Hare uses marble, limestone, and alabaster to create pieces of different sizes, some quite affordable. He also makes some of the best mint tea in town. The shop has been here awhile, so ask in the Grande Marché if you can't find it.
