How to spend a day in Marrakech’s trendy industrial zone, Sidi Ghanem

Marrakshi Life

Our microguides series is inspired by the slow travel movement, encouraging travellers to relax their pace and take a deep dive into one particular neighbourhood in a well-loved city. Rather than a whirlwind itinerary which aims to hit up every must-see attraction, these compact, close-up guides encourage you to zone in, take your time and truly explore like a local.

Similar to Marrakech’s famed souks, where artisans hammer metal lanterns and create leather goods in tiny workshops, Sidi Ghanem – the city’s industrial zone – is a hub for designers and craftspeople. They’re just producing on an industrial scale. And in much larger ateliers.
