IS THE SHOPPING GOOD IN MOROCCO ?

Most Moroccan produced goods are remarkably good value but imported items are relatively expensive. You may be tempted by the wonderful range of crafts for sale in the souks (market); these are usually good value if you bargain for them.  

Typical Moroccan produce includes hand crafted leather goods, particularly leather sandals (around £8), carpets (from £35 to over £1000), and various food stuffs, particularly argan oil, dates, walnuts, almonds, and spices (although not produced locally, brought in bulk).

Bargaining or haggling in a souk should be an enjoyable part of the cultural experience. It should not be stressful, nor designed to get the last Dirham off the asking price, but rather a cordial process to get to a price where both you and the tradesman are comfortable. Ensure you have enough time to walk away from a discussion for a while, but once a price is agreed on after a reasonable period of haggling, it is very rude then to walk away without going through on the deal.
