Souk of the dyers, Traditional textile market in Medina, Marrakech, Morocco.

Inside the covered passageways, local artisans dye fabrics in large stone vats filled with natural pigments extracted from minerals and plants.

This marketplace has maintained its role as a center for textile dyeing since the medieval period when Marrakech emerged as a major trading hub.

The dyers follow traditional methods passed down through generations, using natural ingredients like indigo, saffron, and cochineal to create their colors.

Located near Mouassine Fountain, the souk operates from Monday to Thursday and weekends between 10:00 AM and 8:00 PM for visitors.

The narrow alleyways display rows of freshly dyed fabrics hanging to dry, creating patterns of color against the stone walls.
