strong call on the supermarket action.

Enjoy. The leg of lamb there is amazing as is their pastilla
There are loads of upmarket supermarkets near the women’s restaurant, so loads of biologique (or whatever the French is for organic) produce.
We felt so welcomed wherever we went and yes bought two of the marriage blankets as they were beautiful. Again with them look at what prices are like in the UK so you can ensure if you are buying a rug and shipping is included is it actually a sensible price.

Any of the traders selling rugs will also be able to package them up for you to carry - we did this and just added an extra bag to our flight home. Even on Ryanair it was only £40. This is often cheaper than shipping, though obvs you have to carry it with you.

Cant remember the name of it but there is an amazing restaurant run by a female collective, had great food there.
Also tangia (not tagine) in the main square.
If you want to buy amloo (aka Berber nutella) or argan oil dont do it on a tourist trip to the atlas mountains. These are fun informative excursions but wait to make your purchases in a supermarket and everything comes without the tourist mark up. So get out of the old quarter and into Marrakech proper for buying foods and spices.
