- Medina - Nestled in the heart of the medina, guests are welcomed to meet a maâlem, an expert in the art of Gebs sculpture. Observing the host’s creations, one is immediately struck by the exquisite detail, meticulous order, and serene harmony, showcasing undeniable talent. A maâlem, meaning “the one who knows,” is a master craftsman or artist, a title of honor bestowed upon those worthy of teaching or sharing their expertise.
Initially, the skilled hands sketch the desired designs, often featuring geometric interlacing, rosettes, muqarnas, and calligraphy. The maâlem then carefully sculpts the design, deepening certain areas to enhance shadows and create depth.
The host invites guests to explore this artistic world. With fine scissors and small chisels, participants can carve the initial of their first name into a piece of Gebs, creating a personal keepsake from this immersive experience.
This activity is ideal for families with children aged 10 and above, solo travelers, and culture enthusiasts.
