Morocco is famous for its handicrafts. Popular items include leather goods like bags and slippers, hand-woven carpets, ceramic tagine pots, argan oil products, spices, and intricate metal lanterns.
Yes, haggling is a customary and friendly part of the shopping culture in traditional markets, known as souks. It's a respectful interaction, so always approach it with a smile.
Comfortable walking shoes are essential. It's also generally recommended to dress modestly, with clothing that covers the shoulders and knees, as a sign of respect for the local culture.
While some larger shops may accept credit cards, most smaller stalls and food vendors operate on a cash-only basis. It's best to carry some local currency (Moroccan Dirham) with you.
Markets are often liveliest in the late morning and again in the late afternoon and evening. Visiting at different times offers different experiences, from the morning bustle to the atmospheric evening glow.
