Moroccan craftsmanship is recognized the world over for its richness and authenticity. It reflects ancestral know-how handed down from generation to generation. Whether in the medinas of Fez, Marrakech or Essaouira, craftsmanship plays a central role in the country’s daily life and economy.
Among the most emblematic products of Moroccan craftsmanship are Berber rugs. Each rug is unique and tells the story of the tribe that wove it. The geometric patterns and bright colors of Berber rugs are characteristic of the different regions of Morocco.
Ceramics is also a highly prized art form in Morocco. The cities of Fez and Safi are particularly renowned for their pottery. Moroccan craftsmen have mastered the art of ceramics for centuries, creating decorative and utilitarian pieces of great beauty. Zellige, a type of ceramic mosaic, is another example of the talent of Moroccan craftsmen. It is often found in the country’s palaces and mosques.
Leather goods are another field in which Moroccan craftsmen excel. Leather bags, belts and shoes are made using traditional techniques. Moroccan leather, particularly that from Fez, is renowned for its exceptional quality.
Finally, Moroccan jewelry is a true art. Silver jewelry, often adorned with precious stones and intricate designs, is highly prized, both in Morocco and internationally. Artisan jewelers perpetuate ancient techniques to create unique pieces.
