Explore the Secrets of the Workshops with Just Marrakech
Marrakech is more than just its palaces and bustling souks.
To truly feel the soul of the city, nothing compares to immersing yourself in the world of artisans.
With a personalized visit from Just Marrakech, you'll discover, step by step through the medina, ancestral craftsmanship and unforgettable encounters.
Living Craftsmanship in the Heart of the Medina
Moroccan craftsmanship is the beating heart of Marrakech's medina.
During a stay in Marrakech, venturing into its labyrinthine alleys means entering a world where every object has a soul.
In traditional workshops, skills are passed down through generations: pottery, weaving, leatherwork, ironwork...
This living heritage deserves more than a curious glance.
That’s what Just Marrakech offers through private and personalized tours designed to create a direct connection with artisans and their world.
Why Discover Artisans with Just Marrakech?
Choosing a tour of the medina with Just Marrakech is much more than a tourist route :
- You gain access to workshops usually closed to the public, guided by a passionate local expert.
- You experience powerful human connections, like meeting Mohamed, a leather artisan who precisely sews leather poufs in his tiny workshop hidden behind a narrow alley.
- You return with authentic souvenirs, consciously chosen, far from standardized tourist products.
It’s a responsible and immersive way to experience the red city, while supporting a sustainable local economy.

A Hidden Discovery: The Secret Tanjia Oven
What few travelers see in Marrakech... is this hidden oven in the medina, invisible to passersby, nestled in an alley known only to locals.
It’s one of the secret gems you discover during the souk tour with Just Marrakech.
Your guide stops, gives you a knowing smile, and gestures for you to follow. There, under a modest arch, he leads you to a small opening. A gentle warmth escapes.
Here rests the tanjia, in a community oven, kept alive by fire for generations.
Clay jars are placed directly on the embers. There’s no sign, no decoration. Just warmth, silence, and the aroma of spices in the air.
A place invisible to tourists, yet very much alive—passed down by word of mouth, from resident to resident... and from guide to the curious.
This immersion is much more than a culinary moment. It’s a fragment of the real Marrakech—one that’s not displayed, but experienced with emotion and respect.
