Moroccan crafts may be more traditional - but if the nonsense in 'kech is better we have a difference in taste. Taamarbuuta I usually agree with you - especially about Meknes - but the 'kech?

Sure, the medina is much larger, but most of the items for sale in Fez are more traditional or geared to tourists, whereas in Marrakech, Moroccan crafts are full of innovation. I've noticed that some of that is beginning to seep into Fez, but having shopped in both for the past few years, I'll take Marrakech's souqs any day.Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01792137126898623243noreply@blogger.com
