A little tour of Marrakech's artisans

Morocco is a country where tradition is a widely shared value, passed down from generation to generation. Craftsmanship is a prime example of this. It enhances the reputation of regions and people around the world. Covering some seventy trades, both rich and varied, Moroccan craftsmanship is based on artisans' commitment to preserving their often ancient creation techniques, while also adapting to today's demands.
