Rabat's Market

Description

Like all big cities, Rabat has exquisite and precious arts and crafts. You will also find chic boutiques and ultra modern shopping centres.

Arts and crafts

Shopping starts on the Rue des Consuls in the medina. The place is famous for its rugs. The traditional rug of Rabat is fine, with short, often red wool with a medallion in the shape of a diamond at its centre. These rugs are qualified as urban as opposed to the rural products from the Atlas. Their auction sale on Monday and Thursday mornings is an unforgettable moment. As you exit the Oudayas Kasbah, take the time to linger in all the Tarik El Marsa arts and crafts boutiques. Here, some of the most beautiful rbati arts and crafts are found in a single place. The same can be said for El Oulja, the potters village on the road to Meknes. The artisans use clay from the neighbouring quarries to shape the typical objects of daily life in addition to true works of art. Many items of basketwork are also produced here.
