Souk

Market Marrakech, Marrakech - Safi, Morocco

What to expect

The Souk is a famous market in the ancient medina of Marrakech, a UNESCO World Heritage site. It's a feast for the senses, with vibrant colors, sounds, and scents. The souk is a maze-like network of markets selling everything from spices and carpets to leather goods and jewelry. Visitors can experience the real heart of the ancient city, with artisans, craftsmen, and shopkeepers showcasing their wares. Haggling is expected and part of the fun, with rules to follow, such as never accepting the first price and being prepared to walk away. The best souk buys include Moroccan kilims, bedspreads, and cushion covers, as well as silver jewelry and leather ottomans. Getting lost in the medina is a common experience, but young local boys can help visitors find their way out for a small tip

This family's experience:

Activities: We explored the souk, a labyrinth of narrow streets filled with shops. We looked at babouches, carpets, pottery, djellabas, jewelry, and metals. The kids searched for treasures to bring home

Highlights: The children loved finding little treasures to bring back home. We had to be patient, though, as the bargaining could be tough for the kids! ✨
