Salaams Bandook ~ Your point is well taken and since the souk was awash with repro work as all souks are worldwide I would hesitate to issue the stamp of originality on anything I saw there save a couple of pieces of furniture ...and the lovely tea I drank !! Regards, Ibrahiim al Balooshi. |

I would say that the best souks I found were in Fez. That being said, I heard that the most likely place to find true antique weaponry was actually in Marrakesh (which I was not able to visit). I say good stuff, including truly ethnic Berber textiles, and some other things, but lots of new stuff all over Morocco.

Marrakesh has a couple of dedicated weapons stores but you are going to pay top dollar there. Meknas has a little more laid back souq in which they still do koftkagari. Essouuria is a large woodworking area nice burl work. If you go up into the mountains places like tefrout you get more kilim carpets and argon oil products. different areas have different specialties.

Almost all of these countries have a older than 100 year old law it can not leave the country. When you go to the post office over there you show them what you are sending and pack it in front of them. Remember this is 3rd world and different rules work out there.
