About
In addition to the city's usual shopping areas, such as the covered markets and Nouvelle Ville, the newest part of Marrakesh, a new shopping area is emerging in the north west of the capital, in the industrial district of Sidi Ghanem. With a short taxi ride from the city centre you can reach the best design and furniture shops in town, all clustered along a single street. The shopping trail starts at Amira (277 Sidi Ghanem; www.amirabougies.com; +212 5 24 33 62 47), a candle lovers' paradise at very affordable prices. Here you can find a vast selection of candles in all colours, shapes and sizes, including some giant floating ones that you cannot fail to miss.
