Maison Touareg: Local craft and interesting exhibition

Maison Touareg
4 more images

On our way from Erg Chebbi back to Rissani we made a stop at Maison Touareg, just before we entered the town. It looked like we were the only visitors. We got a lot of information about all the local items which were exhibited in the courtyard, like pottery, furniture and ceremonial items.

What to buy: There is the usual local craft for sale, like carpets, pottery and jewellery. I am always looking for Tuareg products like leather bags, jewellery, tent poles and lots of other stuff. A pity, I didn't find anything here to enlarge my collection at home.

What to pay: You have always to bargain for the price, like a berber.... or like a tuareg !

Going to the souq and market

Spices at the market
1 more image

In the souq and at the market of Rissani you can buy almost everything from food to clothes. I always stroll and look around in the souqs and at the markets just to get an idea of the local products.

What to buy: At the Rissani market I bought some spices to bring home. This time my choice was some of the mixed spices. The marketstalls with the spices and herbs are always very colourful, so was this one.

What to pay: It depends on your bargain qualities.

You may get carpets and kilims at almost any place in Maroc - but I was looking for something special

What to buy: " Camel Bags " - " Sac á Camel " - was the expression I used when I asked for them, and mostly had to explain also, what I meant - and for the staff of shops it only had a arabic-name, that I could not remember

What to pay: I payed around 50 $ for 1 of the bags - in 1990 - the size was about 1,40 meter x 1,20 meter

 Rissani is a small village, close to Quasserasate - we camped nearby out in the desert and took a little walk in that interesting village
