Explore the Souks!

Shopping in Marrakesh may not be the designer label filled experience that many people long for, however with so many bargains and markets to explore it really is a once in a lifetime experience. If you are not used to haggling over goods you should definitely start practising before you arrive in Marrakesh, bargaining is a part of the shopping experience and you can often come away with fantastic bargains.

In the centre of Marrakesh is the Souks, an array of markets selling everything from carpets to love potions. Visitors may find the lively atmosphere fairly daunting at first but once you get used to the smell of rich spices and the loud noise you can enjoy picking up clothes, jewellery and even carpets at your haggled price.

If you prefer to explore the shopping malls in Marrakesh you can visit the government run Ensemble Atisanal which offers a range of high quality goods at fixed prices. Here you can often find cheap electronics bargains and familiar labels.
