Long before RabatArt took form, the story began in the ancient medina of Fez — the cradle of Moroccan craftsmanship.
There, my great-grandfather shaped Zellige with tools forged by his own hands.
My grandfather carried the craft forward, perfecting Zellige, gypsum teaching that craftsmanship is not a job — it’s a form of worship.
This sacred lineage reached Rabat,
where Master Artisan Abdelaly Ouedrhiri carried the flame forward — guiding workshops, mentoring artisans, and later serving as
President of the Chamber of Artisanat for Rabat-Salé-Zemmour-Zaïr
Since 1979, Master Abdelaly’s art has adorned royal palaces,
mosques, embassies, and landmarks across Morocco, the Gulf, and Europe.
Each piece tells a story — of mastery, faith, and national pride.
His greatest legacy, however, lies in mentorship —
passing on the sacred craft to the next generation.
For over a decade, I lived another kind of dream —
serving as a senior cabin crew member aboard the A380 and B777,
exploring the world’s finest cultures and architectures.
Yet no matter how high I flew,
my soul remained grounded in Morocco.
So I made the most meaningful journey of all —
the journey home.
Not to settle, but to carry forward a legacy carved in devotion and dust — and to share it with the world under one name: RabatArt.com
Today, RabatArt unites generations of artisans and designers
to preserve Morocco’s ancestral arts while reimagining them for modern architecture.
Each tile, carving, and motif carries centuries of wisdom —
the rhythm of Fez, the pride of Rabat, and the soul of Morocco.
At RabatArt, we don’t just build spaces.
We build legacies — one hand-carved detail at a time.
