Where to begin with the Souks of Marrakech….
The snakes, the monkeys, the lamps, the smells, the spices, the leather, the jewellery, the ‘little shop owners’, the grumpy hungry men… It just never stops!
There are hundreds and hundreds of stalls selling virtually the same thing wanting you to barter with them to purchase their goods. In a way it’s perfect because you can also always get them down to the price you want however not all of the shopkeepers appreciate the way of bartering when they’ve had little to eat all day and they get angry. Luckily we left satisfied with every purchase and the experience but it didn’t stop there….
When we got to the end of the road we virtually had 30+ taxis fighting to take our money and now offering lower and lower prices (a nice opposite to the Souks). After 10 minutes of laughing so much at the whole situation we eventually got back to the hotel safely.
