Why visit the workshops

Crafts Are Morocco’s Living Heritage

Leather, pottery, brass, woven textiles, carved wood and silver jewellery are still made by hand in Morocco, in workshops that often pass from one generation to the next. A visit shows how an object is made, who makes it and why the craft matters.

We plan each visit around your group: the crafts you want to see, the time you have and the experience you are looking for, from a short guided stop to a hands-on session where available. The details are always confirmed in your proposal.

Our two craft cities

Fes and Agadir

Two very different regions, two very different crafts traditions.

  • Brass & copper
  • Weaving
  • Woodwork
  • Embroidery

Agadir & the Souss

Agadir is the gateway to the Souss region, home to argan cooperatives and to the Berber crafts of nearby towns, which make a rich contrast with the imperial medinas.

  • Argan cooperatives
  • Berber silver jewellery
  • Carpets & weaving
  • Copper & leather
  • Day trips to Tiznit & Taroudant

Frequently Asked Questions

Which cities do you cover for artisan workshop visits?
We organise artisan workshop visits in Fes and Agadir, and we can combine them with other destinations such as Marrakech, Chefchaouen and Tangier in a longer programme.
Can the group try a craft themselves?
Where available, we can request a hands-on session with an artisan. This depends on the workshop, the craft and the group size, and it is confirmed in your proposal.
Can we visit workshops as part of a school or university trip?
Yes. Craft visits work well as a cultural immersion element within an educational programme, and we can link them to your study themes.
Can a craft visit be added to a tour or a corporate programme?
Yes. A visit can be added to a Morocco tour, a study trip or a corporate event, and we handle the logistics together with the rest of your programme.
What is included in the price?
It depends on the programme. Your proposal states exactly what is included, such as guide, transport and any workshop fees, so there are no surprises.
How do I request a proposal?
Send us your dates, group size and interests through the proposal form or on WhatsApp, and our team will prepare a tailored programme and quotation.
