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

Tiznit has earned a reputation as the place to buy silver jewelry in Morocco, and the local market has responded accordingly. The silver markets of Tiznit sell more—and better—silver per square foot than any other market in Morocco. Some vendors also sell handwoven cream-color blankets, traded by local women for a few pieces of new silver. Merchants cater increasingly to Western tastes and wallets. Many shops around the main square are really wholesalers, trading their silver all over Morocco and abroad, so don’t expect any encounters with the artisans. Most items are produced in the home, so tourists are unlikely to see any actual production and the shops advertising it are unlikely to be manufacturing real silver jewelry.
