Souk el-Ghezel (Medina Souks)

Known forsoukmedinatraditional marketcrafts
The labyrinthine souks of Rabat's Medina cluster around Souk el-Ghezel and the surrounding lanes, offering everything from handwoven textiles and leather goods to spices, ceramics, and traditional djellabas. Unlike Marrakech's souks, Rabat's Medina market retains a genuinely local character — most shoppers are Rabatis doing everyday errands, not tourists. Bargaining is expected for crafts and clothing but not for food. The wool and fabric sections are especially authentic and worth seeking out.
