Moroccan tiles

We've always liked Moroccan tiles - one of our favorite things about living in Los Angeles was the fairly frequent spotting of these patterned beauties in unexpected places. We don't see them as often in Chicago, but a feature in Sunday's Tribune Magazine was on a suburban Illinois home with Moroccan influences throughout. These Moorish tiles were included in the accompanying resource section.

Made in Morocco, these are priced well at $4/per 8x8 tile and are sold by the set (20 tiles/$80). They are glazed and will work for floors, walls or as a motif.



Morocco

We are still researching Morocco, below is some general information.

Morocco is an extraordinarily culturally diverse country, with a combination of Arabic, African and European influences. Morocco is also geographically diverse, with a very unspoilt and rugged Atlantic coastline, the Atlas Mountains and the Sahara desert to the South Morocco has something for everyone.

Marrakech lends itself extremely well to city break tourists with its’ impressive ancient medina, world renowned souks and a magical central square, Djemaa el Fna.

Fez is also a very unique and beautiful city with incredible leather tanneries that embody the vibrant colour and culture of Morocco. Further North, towards the coastal port of Tangiers, venture into the hills to discover beautiful traditional mountain villages, such as Chefchaouen.

The more adventurous can find world renowned walking in the Atlas Mountains and desert trips to the Sahara, both within easy reach of Marrakech. The more adventurous may choose to venture further into the Atlas Mountains or to the Sahara for an extended stay in the starlit desert.

The Atlantic coastline offers charming coastal towns such as Asilah and Essaouira, with the influences of the steady stream of French ex-pats clearly visible. Further South is the surfing mecca of Taghazout which offers easy access to world class surf spots.
