Pottery and ceramics, textiles and carpets, jewellery and leather goods: the wealth of Moroccan arts and crafts is rooted in a living tradition. Making beautiful and practical objects, traditional skills are handed down with passion down the generations.

Zellige mosaics, small earthenware tiles cut by a hammer, remain very popular decorative features. The beauty of traditional carpets from Rabat is also strongly appreciated, as is the harmony of Berber rugs, traditionally cut djellabas and caftans. The speciality of Fez , Rabat and Tétouan, very complex embroidery decorates household linen and djellabas. The souks of Fez and Marrakech are reputed for leather objects such as poufs, babouches, bags and other leather goods. The major pottery production centres are Fez and Safi . The jewellery of Tiznit is also highly regarded. Whereas the town of Taroudant is known for its silverwork, Marrakech, Fez and Tétouan are reputed for brass and copper objects.

The major characteristic of these craft objects are that they are made by hand, with traditional machines and tools. This makes each object unique and perfectly authentic. They can be found in all the souks throughout the country.
