What to expect

Step into the world of Moroccan craftsmanship and design your own unique sandals! In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the traditional rug weaving techniques that Moroccan artisans use to create vibrant textiles. First, you’ll choose your favorite colors of soft wool and weave a small rug panel on a loom. Then, with expert guidance, you’ll transform your woven piece into the upper part of a sandal. Finally, you’ll finish the sandal by attaching it to a high-quality leather sole.

By the end of the experience, you’ll walk away with a pair of custom-made Moroccan sandals—a wearable memory of your time in Marrakech. Along the way, enjoy Moroccan tea, local snacks, and inspiring stories about the rich heritage of rug-making and shoemaking.
