This is not the first time I’ve shopped for locks in Marrakech (here are some photos from the last time), but today our guide (Abdou) led us through the haddadine (metalworkers’ souk), and I stumbled upon two craftsmen that make THE MOST AMAZING LOCKS. I bought a padlock so I was able to take lots of photos of one of the shops. Check them out!
He had some amazing small doors as well…
If you’re looking for a beautiful lock of your own, here is Ahmed’s card:
