10 Marrakech Boutiques You Can’t Find Anywhere Else

Argan Oil – Herboristerie Firdaous

When it comes to buying argan oil in Marrakech, you want to look for herboristerie (keyword!) which is an antique-like apothecary. Imagine the one mentioned in Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet: mysterious, petit, oozes of medicinal herbs. Herboristerie Firdaous isn’t glamorous but you’ll find pure (another keyword in Marrakech) argan oil. Owner Mohamed Lougdali can also recommend remedies and aromatherapies catered to your needs. Besides argan oil, you’ll find rosemary, mint, thyme, and rose oils from plants grown on Moroccan farms.
