Complexe D’Artisanat

Limited time? Fed up with bartering in the Souks? Try the fixed price shopping plaza in the Kasbah. This is purely a shopping stop, without the atmosphere and fun of the souk. But! This huge warehouse of a place does have the largest range of souvenirs in town, and some of real quality you won’t find anywhere else.

The prices are very fair and comparable to what you would achieve after a hard barter session in town. If you want a result without the work you can do no better.
