Itinerary
The Souks of Marrakech aren’t just a place to do shopping, it’s a lifestyle, an adventure and discovery of Ali Baba's caves. It’s divided into several districts according to the nature of the goods displayed in the shops and stands. A real labyrinth for visitors. More than 40.000 artisans are grouped by profession and give you the opportunity of appreciating their skills. A set of 18 sub-souks ranging from traditional slippers to carpets, ironworkers, carpenters, copper, spices …. You’ll find anything you’re looking for. The Souks of Marrakech are also home to many caravanserais, formerly a meeting place for caravans to exchange goods before leaving for the desert crossing. They were also places of lodging of the merchants but also of their mounts and their goods. Today a lot of craftsmen have settled there to make handicraftswhich should later be sold in the many small alleys of the souks. End of our guided tour of Jemaa El Fna square for some free time or enjoying a good mint tea on one of the terraces surrounding the square.
