Bloty Marrakech - Immerse yourself in the ancient healing traditions of Morocco, where the souks are more than just shopping venues—they’re gateways to profound natural wellness. Discover two of the world’s most potent natural elixirs, celebrated for their incredible virtues:
Argan Oil: Morocco’s “Liquid Gold”
Forget factory-made cosmetics. Experience the true power of cold-pressed Argan Oil, a versatile treasure for both cosmetic brilliance and culinary delight. This oil is a foundational secret to healthy, radiant skin and lustrous hair, proven to nourish and restore.
Prickly Pear Seed Oil: The Elixir of Youth
Seek out the truly exceptional Prickly Pear Seed Oil. Often called nature’s most powerful moisturizer, this rare, prized oil is a concentrated powerhouse for anti-aging. It is specifically sought after for its ability to smooth wrinkles, brighten the complexion, and revitalize the skin like no other natural product. -
La Maison Des Babouches - The production of leather goods and slippers in Marrakech is a central part of its artisan tradition, concentrated in specialized sections of the souk.
The traditional Moroccan leather slippers are the most famous footwear. The main area for these is Souk Smata (the Slipper Souk). Artisans, or Mâalem, hand-stitch these distinctive, often pointed-toe, soft leather slippers, which are displayed in a dazzling array of colors and are available in both simple and elaborately embroidered designs. -
Dyers District - The dyer section of the Marrakech souk is known as Souk des Teinturiers (or Souk Sebbaghine). It is one of the most vibrant and photogenic parts of the labyrinthine markets.
Activity: It is where artisans continue the centuries-old tradition of dyeing wool, silk, and leather, often using natural pigments like indigo, saffron, and henna. -
Les Nomades De Marrakech - Les Nomades de Marrakech is a highly regarded, multi-generational family-run rug store in the souk, celebrated for offering an extensive collection of authentic Moroccan carpets. The store is often described as a “treasure cave” and offers a relaxed shopping environment, often including complimentary Moroccan tea.
They provide services like custom rug design and, crucially for international buyers, expert packaging and often arrange shipping directly to your home. -
Ben Youssef Madrasa - The Ben Youssef Madrasa is Marrakech’s most iconic and historically significant Islamic college, serving as the largest theological college in the Maghreb for over four centuries. Founded in the 14th century and magnificently rebuilt in the mid-16th century by the Saadian Sultan Moulay Abdallah, the madrasa was a prestigious center for learning, housing hundreds of students dedicated to Qur’anic studies and sciences. Its architecture is a stunning masterpiece of Moroccan-Andalusian design, renowned for its serene central courtyard, ornate cedarwood carvings, intricate stucco work, and breathtaking zellige (geometric tilework), making it a peaceful and visually dazzling testament to the city’s rich scholarly past.
-
Chez Bismilah SAND Coffee - Chez Bismilah SAND Coffee, nestled in the heart of the Souk El Kebir in Marrakech, offers a truly unique and traditional coffee experience. This small establishment is celebrated for preparing authentic Saharian sand coffee, where the beverage is cooked between 80 and 90 degrees Celsius by heating it directly in hot sand. It’s a fascinating ritual that draws visitors seeking a break from the bustle of the medina and a taste of what the owner often touts as “the best coffee in the world,” connecting customers directly to the region’s ancient desert traditions.
