Oulja Pottery Complex
مجمع الولجة للصناعة التقليدية
A traditional pottery and crafts hub in the Bouregreg Valley outside Salé, where you can watch artisans throw pots and fire kilns and buy ceramics.
Oulja lies in the Bouregreg Valley southeast of Salé. Thanks to its river clay, it has been a pottery village since ancient times. Today the craft complex houses workshops for pottery, mosaics, wickerwork, ironwork and woodworking, where you can watch artisans at work. Prices are more affordable than in the old town, so it is a good place to buy large ceramic plates and tagine pots. Renovation work has taken place in recent years, and some workshops have temporarily moved. The coordinates are approximate.
