    Coin Berbere had so many handmade rugs to choice from. Abdoul truly wanted us to find the rug of our dreams. He was knowledgeable and made sure the rugs were tightly packed so we can travel home with them. We are so grateful to bring a piece of Morocco home.

    Abdul at Coin Berber made us feel very comfortable when we bought a pair of rugs from his shop. He offered us a good price and was competitive and amicable when bargaining. A wonderful and abundant selection of rugs to choose from, this is one of the best and most professional outfits in Fes. I would highly recommend!

    The tone was set immediately at the outset, when we were offered mint tea, which was delicious. We were shown a fabulous abundant selection of rugs in the style we were looking for. Abdul knew immediately what we had in mind. He showed us the difference between natural dye and synthetic dye. He explained why fringe is only on one end, because the tribal women make them to be able to hang if you choose. We arrived at a price we were comfortable with after some negotiating, but definitely not high-pressure. Was a nice experience and we would definitely recommend buying a rug from Abdul at Coin Berbere.

    We had a great experience shopping for a rug at coin berbere. Abdul, the owner, is very knowledgeable about all the rugs in his shop and offered us great hospitality. Coin berbere was a stress free way to shop for a rug in Fez. We were able to look at tons of beautiful rugs, the hardest part was deciding which one I liked best! They were very helpful with shipping the rugs back to Canada. Thank you Abdul and the other coin berbere staff! I would recommend going to check out their shop if you are looking to buy a rug while in Morocco.

    Fantastic shopping experience at Coin Berbere. We had to pop in after walking past several times and seeing the gorgeous rugs. Abdul and Idris made us feel very welcome, were happy to show us as many rugs as we wanted to see. We selected two beautiful rugs and were able to negotiate a price we were happy with. A great shopping experience, cannot wait to put our new pieces to use! Thank you again to Abdul & Idris, we will certainly return next time we’re in Fes.

    We had such a lovely experience at this rug shop. My wife learned about it in our Lonely Planet guidebook. This was our second visit to the shop in four hours as Abdul allowed us to contemplate purchasing a rug we fell in love with without hassle. Abdul is playful, lovable, knowledgeable, and professional. By far the best rug shop we visited during our time in Fez ❤️☺️.

    Coin Berbere sells the most beautiful carpets and has an amazing choice on offer. I had a great experience there acquiring the master piece below. Very friendly owner that patiently bartered with me until we settled on a democratic price for the both of us. Thanks a lot and greetings to Fes:)

    Friendly salesman with no pressure and lovely carpets. Come here for a great experience with Abdul and the team. Be sure to haggle and enjoy it. This is a place where the game can be enjoyed with little stress. Recommended.

    Idris made us feel very welcome and comfortable, with no pressure. He helped us just look at rugs we were interested in and gave us a very fair price, compared to other shops. It was a great experience and we are so excited to bring our Moroccan rug home!

  • 5/5 Andrea L. 6 months ago on Google
    We had such a great experience here. The owner was very patient. He showed us so many rugs, carefully narrowing down our search. He gave us lots of time to contemplate our choices and we felt no pressure at all. I would definitely recommend this store to buy Moroccan rugs. We walked away with 3 rugs, a great experience and both parties happy!!

    Not only was our visit to Coin Berbere an amazing shopping experience, but also an incredible showing of various intricate Berber rugs. Abdoul showed us many beautiful rugs, explained the materials used to create the rugs’ beautiful pigments, and gladly answered all our questions. And a kind colleague at the store securely wrapped our purchases up to easily carry back home with us - no shipping needed. Cannot recommended Coin Berbere enough if you are looking for a top-tier Berber carpet shopping experience!

    A rug purchase is no small thing. My partner and I were glad to be allowed the space and time to discuss upon bargaining, since it can be a stressful decision as it is. You can notice this shop’s different approach even as you walk by, since no one actively pulls you into the shop. We returned to Coin Berbere later to request another bag for separating the two rugs previously wrapped together, and were given a few more bags plus extra tape, which was much appreciated. The rugs are of artisanal quality and there was a large selection available between the family’s shop cluster.

    For anyone looking to buy one of the beautiful handmade rugs of Fes, would definitely recommend this shop. We were a bit intimidated by the prices of the rugs in other shops and the bargaining process, but the experience at this shop was fun and fair! We were shown a large variety of rugs, many sizes available, with very reasonable prices. Bargaining is a must in Fes but was upbeat and amicable at this shop without pressure to buy. Absolutely recommend for anyone looking for a Berber rug!

    we had such a nice and comfortable time here. abdul helped us in a way that was so relaxing (compared to shopping experiences in morocco and even in the us where we are from). he listened to our needs and budget and was so reasonable. we can’t wait to put our rugs in our home❤️

    One of our goals for our first Morocco trip was to find a Berber rug or two. We had browsed a few shops in Marrakesh but didn’t find a store or rug that we liked. When we walked into Coin Berbere in Fes it immediately felt right, with a wide selection and with the two brothers who own the shop who were friendly, informative and not pushy. We found two perfect rugs at a fair price and we can’t wait to get them!

  • 5/5 Alex Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice rug store. We bought an authentic, high quality 100 year old rug for a good price. The staff were also not pushy during the process. Would recommend to others.

  • 5/5 Hal M. 1 year ago on Google
    Thanks to the brothers! My girlfriend and I had a wonderful experience in here today buying our first rug. They were really amicable, good fun, and have left us with another wonderful memory of our trip to Fès. We will be back soon to get the big one we couldn't afford this time! Hal and Millen x

    Very fair price, incredibly helpful staff, and amazing handiwork. No pressure at all to purchase, but we bought a runner and a large rug. Highly recommend you make a stop!

  • 5/5 pauline y. 1 year ago on Google
    Coin Berber in Fes has a wide variety of very nice carpets. I ended up negotiating with the owners over a carpet and we both were happy with my purchase. They shipped the carpet as promised and it arrived in the US within a week of shipping. I see my Coin Berber carpet daily and it makes me smile. I would highly recommend Coin Berber in Fes if you are in the market for a Moroccan carpet..

    We had such a great experience - it was no pressure and Abdul was patient and knowledgeable, with a great selection. We took our time and found an excellent rug and were able to find a price that worked for our budget. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Harry G. 1 year ago on Google
    Bought our first rug there today. The whole team were helpful and kind the whole time and were very patient as we took some time to leave and have a think about our choices! Had a wide range of choices to show us

  • 5/5 Matthew L. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing experience here! Huge selection of beautiful rugs across a variety of styles and colors. The employees treated us with great hospitality throughout our visit. We are so excited for our rug to arrive!

  • 5/5 aldo p. 2 years ago on Google
    The best carpet boutique in Fez! The owner is very kind and professional, but the most important thing is the price of the carpets: super good, super convenient prices! It was a pleasure negotiate the price and buy two incredibly beautiful original berbere carpets.

  • 5/5 Ben K. 1 year ago on Google
    Abdul and his associate showed us literally hundreds of options of varying price points, willingly showed us the difference between synthetic and natural wools and dyes. Give any feedback you want and Abdul can find an option that better suits your tastes. If we were intimidated by the price, he’d show us options starting at lower prices, alternative sizes, etc. You will need to bargain hard for your choices, but Abdul is quite fair and will listen to your offers. We left paying what we thought our rugs were worth, but we also never felt pressured or guilted into accepting a price. Abdul is a good salesman and I would definitely return if I’m ever in Fes! It was a fun experience and we’re very happy with our purchases.
