Buying babouches: shops in Ouarzazate, Agadir, or Marrakech? (page 1 of 3)

Hi, I need to buy about ten pairs of babouches. Do you know if there are any shops around Ouarzazate or Agdz where I could find them? Maybe even cheaper than in Marrakech?

Thanks.

hi there.

the two babouche capitals: Taroudant or Fez.

Good evening,

There’s much less choice in Ouarzazate than in the Marrakech souk. I’ve bought a few pairs myself, and you’ll see—some are absolutely gorgeous! 😊

and a 3rd: Tafraoute

I know one in Ouarzazate with unbeatable prices guaranteed. If you find it cheaper elsewhere, I’ll never come back to the forum again! 🙂

" ...and a third: Tafraoute... "

Exactly. More richly decorated with local patterns and with a "small heel," it's not easy to find "authentic" ones anywhere other than the Tafraout region... (and that's a good thing...)

... and on top of that, prices in Tafraout are still reasonable, unlike Marrakech or those sky-high starting prices. I turn my babouches and keep moving 😕

Totally agree with what you said about Marrakech. As you mentioned, the babouche capital is actually Tafraout—they offer very reasonable prices since the babouches are made right there.

To be honest, they’re everywhere and the price varies with the quality. I preferred the ones in Tafraoute. Great value for money, and you don’t need to haggle for hours—prices are fair right off the bat.

Hey, answering your question—yes, in Ouarzazate and Agadir you can buy babouches just like in any Moroccan city. If you're careful, you’ll probably find them cheaper than in Marrakech. Take your time, they’re everywhere, and this won’t be your last pair ;)

Tafraout, the city of babouches par excellence Purely authentic raw materials and very beautiful designs, typically Berber Welcome to the South

Alain specifically asked if he could buy babouches in Ouarzazate, Agdz, or Marrakech.

And here I go answering Fez, Tafraout, Taroudant...

Read the question, for goodness' sake! :)

Hey there,

Maybe you should actually read the question properly, huh?

Is that what you’re reading? Hmm—stop the rosé right now… or put your glasses on🙂

For your information, I don’t like rosé and I don’t wear glasses......except 😎

This question is repeated above all the answers 😛

I’d also advise Alain, if he’s in the area, to stop by Tafraoute for babouches

Hi Alain

The best value for money is TAFRAOUTE, but with stitched soles for everyone!

In AGADIR, there's ROBERT at the "Municipal Market" (a Moroccan who lives in Alsace). His prices are more than fair, and the last pair I bought from him in March 2008 (with stitching) are still used daily as slippers by a retiree—they're like new!

Best regards.

hi everyone, and thanks for your replies. Just to clarify, as I mentioned in my post, we’ll be around Ouarzazate, Agdz, and even Tinerhir.

Thanks, Alain

Conclusion: the moderation team doesn’t know Agdz, and you didn’t read Alain’s question:

PS: Don’t you like a nice chilled Gris de Boulaouane with your apéritif? 😕

yes, but here's the thing—the question title could’ve made you think he was going on a tour. That’s why we took the road less traveled 😏 Buying babouches: shops in Ouarzazate, Agadir or Marrakech?

Hi,

You can find them everywhere, but in Tafraoute and Taroudant you can get them custom-made.
