Architectural Description:
The market contains more than 2300 shops for sale and purchase and galleries, and has a magical atmosphere that captivates all who visit it.
Some people describe it as "Mini China Town" due to the presence of sellers from Asia, especially from China, and the large number of Chinese products offered in it. Others see that it looks like a "beehive", where cars, trucks, pedestrians, pulled carts and porters roam its streets, in addition to the "the street vendors" who sell on the street sides, as well as it is considered one of the black markets in Morocco.
This market contains everything that you may want to buy such as snacks (dates, figs, and almonds), traditional handicrafts, games, colorful fabrics, and many more.
