🇲🇦 Ouarzazate's Must-Visit Bargain Treasure Trove
By pure chance, I stumbled upon this quirky little shop run by a perpetually sunglasses-wearing Berber owner (even indoors!). The owner speaks some English, plus French & Berber, and has filled his store with authentic Sahara finds—from silver rings and wooden puzzle boxes to tribal rugs, stone teapots, and handmade bracelets. 💰 Why this shop rules: ✔ No pushy sales – He even talked us OUT of buying a "250€" rug (same as tourist shops sell), saying it was poor quality! ✔ Crazy fair prices – Got a 1m pure wool double-sided rug for 400 MAD (he burned a thread to prove it!) + a set of 4 small wool rugs (40x180cm) for 600 MAD. ✔ Tests metals openly – For silver jewelry, he scraped samples + used acid to verify purity right in front of us! ✔ Final haul: 2 rugs + stone teapots + bookmarks + wooden boxes = 1500 MAD (down from 2000 MAD). 🌟 Google 5.0-rated, and the owner shakes hands warmly when you leave. If you’re in Ouarzazate, don’t buy carpets at tourist stops—come here! 📍 Find it: Bazar Tafoukt Nº14 "Moroccan Decor Shop" #VintageFinds #MoroccoTravel #Ouarzazate #BargainHunting #HandmadeRugs #BerberCraft #NoTouristTraps #TravelSmart 🛍️✨🏜️
