Morocco Shopping
|
|
The most exciting shopping one
will do while in Morocco is in the souks or bazaars. Most likely,
the type of merchandise you will leave with are crafts, rugs
or jewelry. When shopping in markets, be prepared to be pressured
by vendors into buying anything and everything you’re
simply eyeing. Shop around and don’t be intimidated by
them, as it is highly likely you’ll find better deals
the more you look around. Practice your haggling before you
go! In most places, vendors expect you to bargain with them, |
and it is one of the more exciting aspects of shopping. This holds
true for shops as well. Shopkeepers will often give you a deal if
you’re persistent enough and your offer isn’t so low that
it is deemed offensive.
If you want to leave Morocco with a rug or carpet (and you probably
will) do your research before you go. Virtually all big cities in
the country are crawling with carpet shops, and quality varies from
place to place. As with other merchandise, don’t settle with
the first shop you visit. Wander around and you will be more likely
to leave with a better choice and deal.
