The arts and crafts centre
Departure point for the road to the oases, Ouarzazate is also a point of arrival for crafts and cultures. In its souk, henna, dates, roses, spices, and Artemisia are to be found side by side with Berber pottery, artefacts fashioned from stone, blankets, and those Taznaght carpets so famous for their intricate geometrical motifs.This modern building houses workshops for sculptors in stone, copper and silver. Embroidery work and carpets of original design, woven in vibrant colours from the silkiest of wools, are also to be found there. And it’s also the perfect place to enjoy a refreshing glass of mint tea while admiring the Taourirt kasbah.
