it's fascinating to see the work of the wool painters. the whole market has a lot of craftsman who allow you to watch. however, beware as they will normally expect you to buy something and the price will be much higher then for someone who just passed by. also there are a lot of pickpockets and "guides" who will volunteer to help - they're not doing it out of the kindness of their hearts but so that you'd give them a couple hundred dirhams, and also they'll take you to the shops of their friends and family where you'd pay 3 or 4 times what you'd pay for anything in any other shop.
