    WHAT TO CHOOSE?
    by matcrazy1
    This large store was located a bit off the beaten path, approx. 30 min. on foot from a beach and only a few minutes from my hotel. There is huge choice of Moroccan craft there: ceramics, traditional musical instruments, alabaster figures etc.

    I liked most ceramics: small figures and pottery. The alabaster figures of an elephant (they lived in Morocco in the past) and fat Moroccan guy decorate my living room, now :-).

    It's national (or semi-national) shop. So first prices are lower than in private shops and bargaining more difficult but not impossible. Private, touristy shops close to the ocean are much more expensive.

    ~ Lots of Fish ~
    by Heavens-Mirror
    The Fish market of Agadir is a major tourist attraction. The reason is simple enough, with the lack of typical tourist attractions in Agadir, all the tour operators throw in the fish market as an attraction. Tourists are impressed with the size of the market and the amount of different fish you can purchase.
    Agadir is truly an important fish city, serving both African and European markets.

    Very cheap.

    Everywhere you go in Agadir, you can see salesmen with ceramics! It looks like crap, but if you take a closer look you'll find out that the dishes are very well manufactured, beautiful and colourful! You can find everything from small ashtrays to huge dishes and bowles. It's perfect gifts and it's not expensive, but DON'T forgett to haggle!

    You can haggle at least 50%...

    Agadir Souk: The "real" Agadir

  • Agadir is full of tourist shops. You can get all of this stuff and more in the Souk.
    You'll also have the benefit of seeing how the locals live.

    You'll also see the real Agadir rather than the tourist resort.
    Well worth a visit but be prepared to be hasseled as you go round. It is not as bad as some places and if you are polite and firm your no will be respected.

    I went in expecting to spend around £20 but spent over £100.
    Some of the people in there are good at selling!
    But I know I got thinks for a lot better price than in the shops.

    Herbs, spices, gifts including carved wooden objects and boxes.
    Plan to have lunch there.

    a tajine and coke is 35dh. (£2.15)

    Around half of the bottom price in the tourist shops

    Art Stone and others: Morroccan mosaicwork

  • Table with Moroccan mosaic in lovely colours - Agadir
    Table with Moroccan mosaic in
    lovely colours
    by sachara, 1 more photos
    I like the tables with Moroccan mosaic work. I have a small one in my garden at home, but dream to buy a huge round one some day. I usually stop at almost every stall or shop who are showing this tables, so I did at the Art Stone shop at the Boulevard du 20 Aout. Like all other shops they several items decorated with mosaic.

    A huge table, but I am not sure yet to buy it in Morocco and ship it or to order it in a Morroccan shop in my home country. And I am not sure what to do with it in winter. It´s heavy and big to bring it indoors, but I saw what can happen if you leave it outdoors. When the table is wet and it start to freeze the mosaic can get destroyed. So maybe I first move to a country where it doesn´t freeze in winter.

    Several stalls along the road to Imouzzer: Fossiles

    On our way to Imouzzer in the High Atlas foothills just north of Agadir we saw lots of stalls and small shops along the road selling huge fossiles. There must be lots of fossiles in the area. We saw that even in the walls of the shops fossiles are laid between the stones (picture 5).

    Two times we made a stop to have a closer look. There were not only real fossiles, but also ugly 'fossile'decorations made of concrete (picture 4). Most of the shops also sell other things like iron pigs ('not Moroccan culture, but the tourists ask for it') and containers for plants made of the trunks of the date palms from the valley.

    If you are interested in the colourful Moroccan pottery, you can find in all over town. In the tourist area around the Boulevard de 20 Aout (picture 5) and Avenue Mohammed V with several pedestrian passages are many shops. Also in Uniprix (picture 4) and the Central Market area north east of the Boulevard Hassan II are many shops.

    During my visit in summer 2007 there was a fair with lots of stalls along and around the Passage Ait Souss. Though I like the colours and the patterns, I didn't buy anything like I did the times before. This time I made only some colourful pictures (1, 2 & 3).
