Our Story

traditionalmoroccan.com was born out of a personal experience our founder Hassan Boutabaa had.

Hassan Has been helping USA and UK-based female Interior designers, Architects, and Interior Decorators retail handmade furniture from Morocco-Marrakesh online and offline.

When Hassan’s vegan USA friend was looking for restaurants that serve only vegetarian menus in Marrakesh, he found himself navigating through an information void.

The journey to find the right place was long and overwhelming. but it led him to make a revolution – there needed to be a reliable source of information for tourists facing similar challenges.
