طريق سيدي عبد العزيز، Marrakech 40000, Morocco
Amazing market, but you really have to negotiate the price with the seller before buying it. I recommend getting the price to 50% of the initial price from the seller. We have bought some nice perfume and had a coffee.
This is the main attraction in Marrakech. It is a labyrinth of narrow pathways lined with vendors selling spices, clothes, meats, produce, jewellery, and anything else you can imagine. Don't bother trying to navigate, allow yourself to get lost and soak in the experience of wandering around. A must visit!
Of course you'll visit the souk. Lots of little shops. Be prepared to bargain - you should aim to get 60% off or so, depending on the item. Soooo many scooters flying around which is annoying... You need to be very mindful. There's all the usual stuff they sell at the markets all through Morocco. Fes seemed cheaper and has all the same stuff if you make it that far.
This is one place you need to remember you will always pay over the odds for. Eg if they 100d you know that the item is around 35d. So his still making minimum about 10d. So if u dont mind paying a bit extra for it that's fine. But dont go over 35d. That's a basic rule
Souk Market was definitely one of the highlight of my Marrakech visit. There are no clear directions there to where as to go. But you can definitely rely on Google Maps. They work well even in those narrow streets. You need to be careful there and not buy things instantly. Bargain a lot and visit different shops. Everyone's extremely friendly, but sometimes very stubborn about pulling you into their shops. Having said that, the Souk in Marrakech is big and exciting and enjoyable.
