Private Marrakesh Shopping and Local Lunch

Step into the heart of Marrakech and follow me through the winding alleys of the souk – not just to see it, but to truly feel it.
This isn’t a history lesson or a tourist loop. It’s a walk-through living culture. We’ll meet artisans in hidden workshops, learn the stories behind traditional crafts, discover spices, taste street favorites, and dodge the clichés.
I’ll show you the souk the way locals live it – full of laughter, chaos, color, and quiet corners you’d never find on your own. Whether it’s your first time in the medina or your fifth, this experience will give you a deeper connection to Marrakech than any guidebook could.

Step off the busy streets of Marrakech and into a hidden rug gallery where every piece tells a story. This isn’t a shop visit – it’s a cultural deep dive. I’ll introduce you to passionate rug experts who will walk us through the symbols, origins, and techniques behind different Berber carpets. You’ll learn how to read a rug like a book — from tribal motifs to natural dyes — all while sipping mint tea in a calm, authentic setting.
Whether you’re looking to buy or just curious, this is a chance to slow down and connect with a rich tradition of handmade art passed down through generations.

Get hands-on with one of Morocco’s oldest and proudest crafts — leatherwork.
We’ll step into the heart of the medina, where the scent of natural tanning and the sound of busy hands fill the air. I’ll guide you through the vibrant maze of shops and stalls, sharing how leather is still made using centuries-old techniques.
You’ll meet local artisans, see how bags, belts, and babouches come to life, and learn how to spot quality in a world full of imitations. This is more than shopping — it’s about understanding a living craft that’s deeply tied to Marrakech’s identity.
Expect real talk, real leather, and the chance to connect directly with the makers.

Step into a glowing world of handcrafted Moroccan lamps, where metal meets imagination. This stop takes you inside a stunning gallery filled with lanterns, chandeliers, and candle holders—each one cut and shaped by hand. As light filters through the intricate patterns, you’ll see how artisans create warmth and beauty from brass and copper. It’s more than just a shop; it’s an experience of how traditional design transforms spaces into something magical.

Step into a world where every scent tells a story and every herb has a purpose.
We’ll visit a local herbalist tucked away in the medina — not the tourist kind, but someone who truly lives the craft. You’ll discover natural Moroccan remedies, from healing teas and essential oils to traditional beauty products and spice blends used for centuries.
This is an interactive, slow-paced experience where questions are welcome. You’ll smell, taste, and learn about the powerful role plants play in Moroccan daily life — all shared over friendly conversation and warm tea.
Whether you're curious about wellness, culture, or the stories behind these age-old practices, this is a rare, authentic encounter you won’t forget.

Step inside a boutique where traditional Moroccan design meets contemporary style.
Together, we’ll explore a curated space full of handcrafted kaftans, embroidered dresses, stylish djellabas, and unique accessories you won’t find in the busy souks. This isn’t a sales pitch – it’s a relaxed visit where you’ll learn how Moroccan fashion reflects identity, heritage, and creativity.
You’ll hear the stories behind the pieces, meet the artisan or boutique owner, and even get style tips if you’re curious to try something on. Whether you’re shopping or just exploring, it’s a beautiful way to connect with Morocco’s fashion soul.

After exploring the heart of the medina, we’ll pause for a well-deserved break with a traditional Moroccan lunch. Served in a cozy local spot—often hidden from the usual tourist path—you’ll enjoy freshly prepared dishes like tagine, Tanjia or grilled meats, depending on the season and availability. This is not just a meal, it’s a moment to relax, connect, and experience Moroccan hospitality around the table. Vegetarian options are always available.
