Marrakech · Souks
THE LABYRINTH
Lamps, leather, argan, carpets — the medina is a mile-wide marketplace with a thousand doors.
Souk Semmarine
The main artery: start here, then let the side alleys swallow you.
The tanneries
Centuries-old leather pits — take the mint sprig they offer. You'll need it.
Haggling etiquette
Start at a third, smile always, walk away once. It's a dance, not a duel.
Rahba Kedima spice square
Pyramids of ras el hanout and rose buds around the old auction square.
Ensemble Artisanal
Fixed prices, real artisans — calibrate here before you bargain out there.
