To find the best shopping, you have to go off the beaten track. So break out a map, firmly eschew the assistance of the aggressive freelance guides, and hit the road. Just remember: Do your wandering before noon or after four, and be sure to take a couple of bottles of Sidi Ali springwater with you-the Maghreb sun is absolutely brutal. There's a reason djellabas have hoods. -Mitchell Owens
