A dive into the effervescence of the souks of Marrakech
A winding driveway with stalls overflowing with food, a feeling of proliferation and the echo of lively negotiations to fill the air with a joyous commotion: No doubt, you are in the middle of one of the famous souks of Marrakech!
Within these markets, the arts of tradition are showcased. Go under a door: you enter the souk of Semmarine, perhaps one of the most interesting of Morocco. In its alleys meet Amazigh and Arab crafts. Each one has their stalls on which spread ornamented candles, earthenware, and lighting.
Elsewhere in the city, other markets set up their trays. Rendezvous at the souk Attarine, dedicated to the work of the brass: bronzed or gilded, they come in all shades, from sumptuous table objects always delicately worked. Further on, one of tanners and dyers makes the most of all types of leather: slippers and leather goods invade the alleys bathed by the stubborn smell of tanned skin under the sun of Morocco.
Marrakech, it’s also that: a little Moroccan craft concentrate! Business from souk to souk and discover the treasures of everyday arts!
