The 7 Best Shopping in Chefchaouen, Tangier-Tetouan Region
This stunning Moroccan city in the Rif Mountains was originally built as a fortress in the 15th century. The mountains towering over Chefchaouen resemble a pair of goat’s horns, and, perhaps not coincidentally, the creamy native goat cheese is one of the most popular regional treats. Architecture enthusiasts will marvel at the Jewish-inspired blue-tinted buildings, octagonal mosque and Spanish ruins.

We had no intention of buying anything as we already had bought a rug in the desert, but upon seeing the rugs they had we ended up buying 2 pieces. The guys that work here are great, we actually spent 1.5 hours hanging out with them, talking and negotiating prices. They weren't pushy but of course they entice you to buy one of their great pieces and it will be hard to refuse when you see the rugs they pull out. We purchased a blanket that was made by their grandfather right in the store. They threw in a small rug that we were eyeing as well and gave us a deal that we couldn't refuse. Great experience and highly recommend you take a look here.

I have now been able to visit this fantastic shop on two occasions and both times was blown away by the kindness and incredible service we received inside. After visiting this shop once six months ago the shop owner remembered me today and invited me in for some tea and asked about my family (who he met on the previous visit). The quality of rug is excellent - best I've seen in Morocco I think. This store is certainly a must see in Chefchaouen.

So much shopping in Morocco is high pressure sales or, at least, a slightly awkward experience as the owner watches you intently, with high hopes of making a sale. This shop couldn't be more different: It is a two story shop simply filled with an enormous selection of nicely displayed soaps and oils. You can grab a small basket in which to collect your choices as you browse, inhaling the intoxicating, exotic scents as you go. Prices are clearly marked and very fair: about $3 for a good sized bar of soap. There are also cleverly bundled groups of 4 to 6 bars of soap, which make great gifts. The owner busies himself on the second floor, until you have a question or are ready to make your purchase. All & all, a lovely shop with great products and a nice shopping experience. Go!
