The souks are gorgeous but exhausting. Do a first walk without buying to spot the shops you like. Note your favourites and come back the next day. Prefer visible workshops. For cooperatives (argan, carpets), ask for a certificate.
Practical tips
- Set a budget before entering.
- Ask for shipping cost for heavy items.
What to avoid
- Buying at the first shop "to avoid offending".
Best time
Morning to compare, late afternoon to close.
