  3. Parfumerie Medina

    The knowledgeable owner Rachid Ouedrhiri will explain all about the perfumes, cosmetics and essential oils he stocks in his small stall in the Henna Souk, off Talaa Kebira and if you've always hankered after arabesques swirling of henna, here's the ideal place. The henna artist applies the mixture while you relax under the plane tree in the Henna Souk, off Talaa Kebira. She charges around DH30 for a finger-and-wrist design, or around DH200 for the full treatment of hands, forearms and feet.
