Bab el Khemis

Looking to furnish your house, learn some Arabic, stroke kittens walking over 1920s telephones or sift through abundant mountain ranges of clothes and strange and wondrous second hand items all at a price that seems too unfair on the seller, Marrakech’s ‘flea market’ at Bab el Khemis has this and so much more.

Not usually frequented by tourists this sprawling area in the North West of the Marrakech old town is where many locals hunt for bargains. The busiest day is Thursday but the market district is open 365 days a year and is usually a hive of activity with food, clothes, prayer, sports and craftsmanship all mingled to make for an interesting visit.

Our beautifully restored Riad hotels are the perfect place to stay and explore Marrakech. Make contact today to secure your reservation!
