"A Real-Life Aladdin's Cave There isn’t a housewarebuyer in the world who doesn’t whisper of the treasures that can be unearthed in this Aladdin’s cave of a store spread over several floors and houses in Dar el Bacha. Alas, these days Mustapha Blaoui is probably Marrakech’s worst-kept secret, but it’s no less magical for that. Whether your preference is for a fuchsia-colored juju hat (all the rage for giving a pop of color to a boring old wall), bone-handled cutlery, a silver teapot and engraved glasses, a chrome-plated art deco mirror, giant beaded heads from the Cameroon, or Syrian furniture inlaid with mother-of-pearl, chances are Mustapha has it. Even if itdoesn’t, you can easily lose yourself in this labyrinth of rooms for several hours, swept up in the magic of the Orient."

"Hidden behind an inconspicuous door near the main medina is a treasure trove that will have you mad for Moroccan decor."
