After having gotten yourself lost in the backstreets of the Medina, having tasted quirky local cuisine and having visited palaces and museums, there is one more thing left to do in the Marrakech things to do: Shopping! Be aware that there is a lot of shopping, a lot of made in China where you’d expect to find local handicraft. In order to ease up your life, here’s our list of top 5 shopping spots in Marrakech. Sorry for the ones we didn’t put in there, we love you anyway!
Galerie Pop
Placed in a big luminous loft in the industrial neighbourhood of Marrakech, Galerie Pop is something in between a design store and a creators’ shop. Each artist, all Moroccan, has his/her own space which they decorate to their taste to put forward their work. Between unexpected lights, funky furniture, decorative objects and ceramics, every budget will find something. In short, Galerie Pop is Alibaba’s modern cave.

Slow Concept Store
Hidden away in Gueliz, it is the eco friendly and trendy boutique of Marrakech. Its thing is fair trade and it shows! Slow Concept Store offers all sorts of products that were given a second life through sheer creativity. This is their signature: reinvent a purpose for everyday life objects to make them exceptional objects.
For example, all shades turned into a TV table or Jerri canes turned into coffee tables. For smaller objects, we loved the paintings, the coloured cushions and the carpets! In short, Slow Concept Store brings back to life objects we thought warn out. We reckon you’d happilly take a few back home like we did!
