Tetouan Travel Forum

Has anyone any advice or experience of buying furniture and household items in the Tetouan area? Beds, seating, washing machine, etc. etc.

I have no experience of the souks etc. and wonder if its worth a try or not?

Any suggestions would be very welcome.

Hi, I have bought an apartment through MRI and I will be buying my own furniture. I have copied below some info from another forum which I hope is useful for you. Paul.
p.s.If you have bought an apartment, the eye on the world forums are good for exchanging with other owners

'With regards to kitting out your apartments, we have found that the best and cheapest method is to do it yourselves. The prices of all these packages that are offered by various companies is very expensive and it is best to buy the stuff yourselves. For more traditional furniture it is best to go to some of the numerous handmade/bespoke furniture that you can find in and around Tetouan. For modern furniture you have Kitea (http://www.kitea.ma/home.php) , Mobilia ( http://www.mobilia.ma/ ) or another good shop near the developers office called Laylitts ( I think that is how you spell it ). For electricals and white goods etc either the Marjane Centre on the way to Tetouan or the various Gold Vision stores in Tetouan, they deliver and fit, most of the time that is included in the purchase price. For general houseware you can get most of what you want from the Marjane Centre, but there is a lot more choice and at better prices in the Souk or the Medina in Tetouan, but remember to haggle, that's half the fun! For potteries and typical Moroccan lights etc we found the roadside stalls on the way to Tetouan to be very good value'.

Hi Paul,
Many thanks for your reply!

We dont have any intention of using the furniture packs, they really are very over priced and not what we want at all!

I hope that all goes well with your purchase, we too have bought an apartment through MRI and hope that its finished before winter...... we had hoped that it would be completed by June/July 07! so a little late.

Please let me know how you get on in the area with your purchases!

cheers,
Graham.
