This tourist-friendly herboriste selling all manner of Moroccan spices, herbal medicines and natural beauty treatments is a fifth-generation family business – ask Haj Brahim or his daughters to whizz you through the health properties of their bottled plant extracts. Herbalist businesses are ten-a-penny in the souqs, but this one is special for its roof terrace with an excellent view into the walled-off Almoravid Koubba.
