Anyone from Melbourne will tell you that every rug store you pass in any given suburb is having a permanent closing down sale. They don't actually ever close down, they just live in hope that their advertising lures in some buyers. The rug shops here in Marrakech never close either. You could buy a rug from someone, somewhere in the Medina 24/7. The competition is cut throat. This one lovely store has gone to great lengths with their display of rugs and runners and carpets. They hang from the roof and around the walls, drape over ground and decorate the entrance in every size and colour combination. If you enter you will be plied with tea and persuasive offers, bargaining and haggling is obligatory. This exercise is not for the fainthearted but I assure you, you will leave with a purchase or two and a great story to tell.
Did you buy one?
