Just off Jemaa el-Fna, the souks of Marrakech unfold into a labyrinth of covered alleys where artisans hammer brass, weave carpets, dye leather and stack spices in bright pyramids. It’s the best place in the city to shop, watch craftspeople and get pleasantly lost.
What you’ll find
Specialised souks for leather (Souk Semmarine), metalwork, carpets, lanterns, babouches, spices and argan oil. Bargaining is expected and part of the fun — start low and stay friendly.
