Anamil

Top choice in Kâat Ben Nahid & Bab Debbagh


If you're looking for a unique Moroccan woollen rug or high-quality local souvenirs, Abdess Anamil can help. His small shop is crammed with beautiful things, some of which he has cherry-picked from the workshops of Marrakesh artisans or hunted out in antiques shops, while the dishwasher-safe ceramics and textiles are his own designs. He also speaks excellent English.

If you're on a serious shopping mission, let him lead you to his multistorey riad showroom with larger items and statement African treasures, hidden deep in the souqs. Good shipping rates.
