The 8 Best Shopping in Ouarzazate, Souss-Massa-Draa Region
The tiny Moroccan town of Ouarzazate is a caramel-colored oasis set against a clear blue African sky. Be inspired by Ait Benhaddou, a beautifully preserved Kasbah that's a UNESCO World Heritage site, or walk in the starry path of celebrities by taking a tour of one of Ouarzazate's two movie studios. Tour the surrounding dunes on camel-back, or simply bask in the quiet bustle of the bargaining sessions at local markets.

Our tour stopped at Cooperative des Tapis. I should note that in the past I have visited several carpet shops, including one in Fez. As a result my expectations were quite low. However I was pleasantly surprised. Compared to Cooperative des Tapis, those previous shops were used car sales lots. Upon first entering the establishment we were allowed to gawk at several rooms with carpets covering the walls. Then we were gathered into the central room for a presentation. It began with a description of Berber culture, from tent stakes to weaving looms. One item I found particularly fascinating was wedding dress secured by 99-tiny buttons which the groom would have to deal with on his wedding night :) Intermixed with the cultural items were carpets which had been hand woven by Berber women. On a previous tour I visited a nomadic Berber family and saw one being woven. It was interesting to see where it might have ended up. Each of the first rugs shown was accompanied by commentary about the design and the fibers used. Of interest, dromedary camels are only sheared once in their lifetime, usually at 3-4 years of age. The carpet display gradually became the primary focus of the presentation, with rug after run being spread out until the floor was covered with several layers. While they were clearly interested in selling carpets, I never felt any pressure to buy. When questioned they would provide details about individual carpets. Several of our tour group did buy. In one case they wrapped up a runner to be carried by the purchaser on the bus, while others were put aside for subsequent shipment back to the buyer's home. All in all it was a very educational experience

This shop has an amazing assortment of antique Berber artifacts and jewelry, as well as wonderful, high quality rugs. We bought a large rug that was shipped to us and it arrived in perfect shape right after we arrived home. We asked them to delay the shipment so it would not arrive before we got home and they shipped it on the day we suggested. We also purchased some small items and jewelry for gifts and we felt that we paid a fair price for everything. I would highly recommend a visit to this store if you get a chance to visit it.
