Women carpets cooperative Andaz Nouska | M7CC+2MF, Midelt, Marocco

Visiting Andaz Nouska women's cooperative is one of the real highlights of our trip to Morocco! It was a 25-minute walk from our riad but we received such a warm welcome! We arrived just minutes before closing time of 6:00 p.m. but a few of the ladies explained their work and the history of the cooperative, which begin with the Franciscan sisters way back in 1926 and now is run by 32 local women. They brought us upstairs to see a giant collection of needlework, rugs, etc. There are also really interesting stones and jewelry from the area. The prices are all carefully marked and records are meticulously kept in a handwritten ledger. This place will warm your heart and it's probably the best place in Morocco to spend your money.

The place is worth visiting. The women there do a great job. Unlike most places in Morocco that are highly touristic and commercial here we found real people trying to change their lives and their world. A truly moving effort.
