Palais Quaraouiyine

The Bennani family has been in the antiques and rug merchant business for decades. At Palais Quaraouyine, they sell intricately woven Moroccan and Berber rugs in an exquisitely restored riad. While the house itself warrants a visit, shoppers are further treated to a rug demonstration where specialists present a variety of styles and weaving methods. Enjoy tea and a lesson on Moroccan heritage through its textile traditions, or pick out something special to be shipped home. Not to be missed is the family’s nearby sister shop, Les Mystères de Fe, filled with one-of-a-kind furnishings and decorative pieces, which are distinctly Moroccan in style and of the highest quality.
