Tips for buyers Souk

Carry around a few pieces of Moroccan currency with you for tips. The rate is 1-5 Dirhams.

Negotiation is the key when buying in Morocco. When presented with an offer of about ¼ the amount. Keep friendly process, but remain firm. If you give a final offer and that you are allowed to leave the store, you have underestimated the value. When bargaining does not seem interested in the product (even if you are) and do not be afraid to tell them that you have a look around.

Exchange only so much money you expect to spend. Always exchange money in banks or large hotels, never on the street. Credit cards are accepted for larger purchases, but carry cash for most purchases souk

If you are planning a visit to the souks in your Morocco tours, try to avoid Fridays, because it is the Muslim holy day and most of the shops and stalls will be closed around noon.

Watch your belongings as pickpockets roam the souks. Children's attention and that markets can be very busy and it is easy to get lost.

Follow the trail through the Berber villages of the Atlas mountain, sleeping in tents of the Sahara Desert and traditional riads, explore imperial cities, munch couscous in the souqs, and take it easy on the beaches of Agadir . We will help you build your own adventure in Morocco .......
