What this journey is
Days built around the pleasure of finding something you could never have gone looking for. Hand-blocked cloth drying in the sun, ceramics stacked floor to ceiling, baskets, leather, silver and spice, and workshops where the person showing you the work is the person who made it. Come home with fewer souvenirs and better stories.
What you might do
- Spend a morning in the market with someone who knows which lanes to follow
- Step inside a workshop and meet the artisan behind the work
- Find the piece you cannot leave behind — and have it sent home before you are
