With its long history of silversmiths, the jewellery souq has some of southern Morocco's best work. It’s a pleasant place to wander, with blue-doored shops and windows full of silverware. Some of the jewellery is made in Tiznit and some from Saharan tribes to the south. You'll need time to look around and bargain to get the best prices.
