Ensemble Artisanal

Ensemble Artisanal is a shopping complex with colourful artwork, housewares, musical instruments, clothes & fabrics. It's good to come here if the loud medina gets a little too much to handle, to get an idea of what to expect in terms of pricing or simply if haggling isn't exactly your cup of tea. Many of the items found in abundance in the souks can be shopped here in a much calmer environment and at a fixed price.

  Avenue Mohammed V, Marrakesh

Souk El Kebir & Souk Cherratin

For an accessory-shopping adventure, set your sights on Souk El Kebir and neighbouring Souk Cherratin. Situated just off Attarine (the copper souk) and locally known as Ta'ala, these souks are the epicentre of leather craftsmanship in Marrakech. From intricate bags and belts to butter-soft wallets and purses, these markets offer an array of sizes and designs. If you're on the hunt for the iconic Moroccan babouches slippers, you're in luck — these souks offer a rich tapestry of colours, patterned cuts and intricate stitching at a fraction of European or North American prices.
