Last Saturday I took a walk to the Ensemble Artisanal.
About a 20-25 minute walk.
This government-run complex of small arts and crafts shops hold a reasonable range of goods, notably leather, textiles, and carpets.
Shopping here is hassle-free and supposedly fixed (though you can haggle here too). Here is where I got my name painted in Arabic.
At the back you can see people actually weaving carpet and if I paid them some Dirham they would have let me take a picture. (getting tired of that)
The special mud used in the hammams.
DSW Moroccan style…..
More woven bags than even I know what to do with.
Nice Saturday spent walking around the neighborhood.

This is the piece I bought and the artist who did it. |
