Be Prepared For The Ultimate Moroccan Shopping Experience!
Marvellous medina’s of Morocco…it’s like walking backwards through the corridors of time and simply made for exploring. The colours, flavours, vibrancy, multi-national languages, bustle and on-going haggling for tantalising hidden gems will make you want to buy more than you need and it is only the very determined traveller who will not overspend in any Moroccan medina. Get lost in the chaotic labyrinths of narrow souk alleys with its astonishing selections of the finest traditional handmade Berber rugs and carpets, metalwork produced by master craftsmen, comfortable djellabas, leather goods directly from the tanneries, marvellous Moroccan lanterns in all shapes and sizes and the world-famous golden-yellow argan oil from the Essaouira region. Smell the unique flavours of Moroccan spices rivalled by nowhere else on this planet, buy cone-shaped tagines in all sizes, big and small, produced from the finest clay, baked and hand painted in vibrant colours and patterns, hand painted Moroccan plates, traditional babouche slippers, aromatic cedar wood boxes, the most beautiful hand-crafted Berber and Hands of Fatima amulets. Admire antique silver teapots and small, colourful and elaborate tea glasses, just waiting for the most delectable Moroccan mint tea to be poured into them from an astonishing height, and savour the juiciest dates, nuts and olives in all flavours and colours. And then still you will find that to choose a souvenir is only the start with the best part yet to come - bargaining! Yes, slow, serious but strategic bargaining and fighting for your money all the way! Always in good faith, a warm smile but understanding that a common in-between price has to be reached and formally agreed on that will satisfy both seller and buyer’s pockets before yet another exotic Moroccan souvenir will find its forever home.
You will never be the same again!
