A
Boutique Majid
You can get lost for hours in this exotic antique shop, but the real gem is Majid himself. Straight out of central casting, to include his red fez, he will regale you with stories of the Rolling Stones and other luminaries while showing you his amazing collection of Moroccan doors. ‘If you want a door, ’ he confides in his husky voice, ‘you must talk to Majid!’.

Parfumerie Madini
This is the place for sweet smells - the Madini family has been distilling essential oils for some 14 generations and they claim to be able to perfectly reproduce any scent you care to give them, with a little time. The range of perfumes and essences on sale is literally intoxicating.

Ensemble Artisanal
This government-backed arts-and-crafts centre is a good place to see the range of local crafts and watch the artisans at work. There’s no haggling, as prices are fixed, but they are also much higher than in the souqs.

Bazaar of Silver Jewelry
The name says it all: two floors of glass cases full of silver jewellery from throughout Morocco, both new and antique, and great staff, too. Located in an obscure alley near the Café Central, ask there or call.

La Casa Barata
Literally ‘the cheap house’, this large arena of dealers carries everything you can imagine, from vegetables to electronics to carpets. The best opportunity to find real treasure, and an experience unto itself.

covered markets
The covered markets south of the Grand Socco are the best place for fresh produce, with Riffian women in traditional hats selling fruit, vegetables and delicious creamy goats cheese.

Librairie des Colonnes
Tangier’s best bookshop, but still modest. Hardly any English-language books.
