Where traditional craftsmanship and modernity blend, time sometimes seems to stand still

Behind the high walls of the city of Meknes, several craftsmen are busy making and renewing authentic and modern wonders.
Place El-Hedime has all kinds of shops. The art of damascening can be seen on vases, plates, bracelets and other finely decorated objects. Embroidery and tannery are also mastered by these craftsmen from father to son.
The hinterland of Meknes is exceptionally rich : from vineyards, to orchards and olive groves that grow on its fertile land.
In this imperial city, there is no shortage of opportunities to acquire traditional objects and local wonders !
