A shop selling pottery. There was a large selection of decorated pottery of different designs and shapes.Nearby were the workshops, and the smoke can be seen from some of them.
An exhibition at the beginning of the village has examples of carpets, metal lanterns, lamps, shoes and garments section but there didn't seem to be anyone to ask about the produce when I was there. Perhaps because it was in the afternoon?

What to buy: Tradiional crafts like pottery, lamps, shoes , carpets, brasswork and jewellery.

What to pay: I bought a selection of seven pieces of pottery and paid very little for them. A small covered pot was 15 dirham , a medium sized one 40 dirham, After I had selected everything I paid 100 dirham and got a small piece added on free. Now all this was less than 20$US, and I might have got for less if I knew how to bargain. But at the airport similar goods cost up to ten times the price.

Address: outside Sale on the Meknes road.
Directions: Across the river from Rabat and outside Sale
