Morocco 2025: Moroccan Lamps

Morocco - April 2025

On a recent holiday tour of Morocco, we got to see beautiful Fanoos (Moroccan Lamps) at the restaurants we ate at, and at the riads we stayed in. These lamps are beautifully made and intricately hand-crafted. They are available in many shapes and colorful designs, and light up the space in different moods, casting beautiful shadows too.

Here are some of the lamps we saw:
