The richness of Moroccan craftsmanship is on display everywhere. We watched felt makers transform tufts of wool into intricate designs, their hands working with a speed honed over generations. Then we headed to the metalworkers’ area, where skilled smiths bent and shaped copper into pots and pans. These ancient crafts have endured and evolved. While the techniques remain rooted in tradition, many artisans are now incorporating contemporary design.
We bought pots for Tembaga, our copper infused restaurant at Bambu Indah.
Les Nomades de Marrakech is a must visit. He’s an INCREDIBLE dealer of carpets and rugs
“As owner Namous puts it, “we have carpets in our blood.” Les Nomades de Marrakech was established in 1993 by Namous Abderrahim, the fifth generation in a family renowned for its expertise in top-quality Moroccan carpets. We design and fabricate artisanal rugs using age-old berber designs techniques and materials. The Les Nomades team of skilled artisans weaves naturally-dyed wool, cotton, and silk (by special order) into carpets, kilim, blankets, festival tents and goat-hair nomad tents of vibrant design. Our rugs travel from the villages of the Atlas Mountains, to our Marrakech showroom, and, finally, directly to your door step. We are dedicated to sharing the spectacular artistry of this tradition with people all over the world!”
We also visited the last feltmaker in Marrakesh market.

In Marrakesh we stayed at Tarabel.
“In the heart of the medina, in the magnificent Dar El Bacha district, is Riad Tarabel. Unique property harmoniously combining Moorish architecture with the Napoleon III style. With its large and very bright patios, its terraces and its open lounges, strolling is essential!”
