What to buy from Morocco 

Spices

Spices play a leading role in Moroccan cuisine and generally across all Arab countries.

If you're a fan of pepper, cumin, nutmeg, turmeric, and other spices, then the local cuisine will offer you many surprises!

From the market stalls in all Moroccan cities, you can buy local spices and take them back in your suitcase.

Spices don't take up much space in your suitcase and are easy to transport on a plane.

We recommend buying as many spices as you can so you have them to add to your own culinary creations!

Leather products

Throughout Morocco, you'll see many shop windows displaying leather products – from clothes and accessories to anything you can imagine!

Leather is prevalent in Morocco, and if you're looking for a new leather bag or a leather wallet, now is your chance to buy them!

Here you'll find genuine leather products of much superior quality.

Prefer small, local shops and, of course, check the leather's quality before purchasing to avoid falling victim to fraud.

Products from Argan Oil

Argan oil is a product that thrives exclusively in Morocco, specifically in the southwestern part.

It is produced from the fruits of the eponymous tree.

Argan oil is used both in cooking and in beauty and skincare products.

It possesses some unique and beneficial properties, such as:

• Moisturising
• Skin radiance
• Antioxidant properties
• Acne healing
• Cell regeneration

In Morocco, you'll find plenty of argan oil products – especially in traditional shops in the cities' Medinas – The Medina is the old traditional city that still preserves its traditions, and you'll find amazing buildings and architecture of another level!

Traditional foods

Buying traditional foods and dishes is perhaps the most popular purchase from your trip to Morocco.

While other cities might be famous for their technological products or some other consumer item, in Morocco, you'll mostly find traditional products and foods.

At the stalls in all cities, usually in the centre of each area, you'll find dozens of traditional products that you can first taste and then buy and bring back with you.

Make sure you have checked baggage so you can transport them safely and without any problems.

Buying large items from Morocco

The above items are the 'easy' ones you can buy and take back with you.

Beyond these, however, Morocco also has a large market for other items such as amazing carpets and hookahs.

If you have a way to transport them (e.g., shipping with a courier), especially the Arabic carpets are worth every penny!
