The souks really deserve a visit. The change of scenery is at the pinnacle. A multitude of alleys, visiting them all is impossible. The sellers are often very kind. And if you know how to negotiate good deals are to be done always with a smile. Only the multitude of scooters we meet there can be very dangerous just for the children.
A good and quick overview of the different markets - if you go on your own and you get lost after 50 meters.
Thank you for your kind review! I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the quick yet insightful overview of the markets. Exploring them with a guide definitely makes a difference, especially in such a vibrant and maze-like place. It was my pleasure to ensure you didn’t miss out on the unique charm and treasures each market has to offer. Wishing you many more enjoyable adventures!
Nice tour through the shops of the Medina. Abdoo explained a lot of curiosities about Morocco and Marrakeck. Excellent Moroccan coffee. Recommended.
