The great diversity of shops and the interest of the products made there make it our number one craft village. The atmosphere is pleasant, relaxed as long as you put your mind to it. These artisans must support their families. They are therefore active vis-à-vis the potential customer, but not pushy.

We necessarily haggle there, without aggressiveness. Make it a fun time! And claim the Jardin aux Etoiles, you will benefit from better prices! 

From weavers to potters

Some artisans work in front of visitors: weavers busy at their loom, potters, cobblers, tinsmiths, stone and wood carvers, cedar wood marquetry specialists. This last specialty, born in Essaouira, spread to Agadir with a certain happiness.

A pottery workshop named Agadir Pottery is installed at the back of Kasbat Souss, ocean side. You can order all kinds of custom-made items there. The terracotta letters that designate the main rooms of the Jardin aux Etoiles, such as theAtlas Lounge, come from here.

There is also an art gallery, whose good quality of works has nothing to do with the crusts sold to tourists near the big hotels. Figurative or non-figurative, the paintings on display are worth stopping to contemplate and perhaps... take away. Let us quote among the painters exposed the Berber artistMubarak Amman.

Among the countless pieces of furniture and objects that arouse wonder in Kasbat Souss: the Khemisset kilim rugs that were used to furnish the Agadir room or even the table in the fireplace corner of the Atlas Lounge.
