There is no end to the things we love about NOMAD. From its chic and modern rooftop bar, to the menu that incorporates modern international influences into traditional Moroccan cuisine, to the flourless orange cake served as dessert.
This tiny atelier in the heart of the souk has gained a cult-like following all thanks to proprietor and tailor Mohammed's way with a needle and thread. Kaftans, shirts and jackets line the store, blending Moroccan tradition with Western flair that would turn heads at the chicest of London soirées. Celebrities, well-dressed locals and even Spanish royalty (rumor has it) have passed through his door. Standout favourites include Moroccan cashmere jackets with embroiled trim or the suede babouche slippers. It is pure 1960s Moroccan glamour for the modern sartorial gentleman.
Explore the iconic serene gardens and colourful buildings of this Nineteenth century palace. Take a trip back in time and picture yourself as prince prancing through the flamboyant Islamic art and enchanting architecture.
One of the trendier shops in the Souk, L'atelier Michi wouldn't feel out of place in New York's NoLita or the streets of Le Marais in Paris. The owners, a Japanese-Moroccan duo, have spliced Tokyo minimalism with traditional Moroccan artisanry. So babouche slippers are crafted from grain sacks, raffia baskets are trimmed with recycled leather handles, and hand-carved bowls are given a sleek, modern finish. The shop is a masterclass in taste, and each item from the salad spoons to the fired-clay ornaments would be as at home in a riad courtyard or a Parisian apartment.
