Mustapha Blaoui

Top choice in Marrakesh


Treasure hunters rejoice: this is a one-stop shop for all things artisanal. Moroccan lanterns drip from the ceilings of this grand emporium that features well-made delights collected by owner Mustapha Blaoui. Concealed behind an inconspicuous wooden door with no sign, the large space offers a relaxed shopping experience amid several chock-a-block rooms holding everything from cushions and carpets to tables and teapots.
