The souk is a massive place and you will get lost in there, but don't let that put you off. There's so much to see, the goods, the people, the colours and smells etc. If you've been to North Africa before you'll be used to the persistent selling manner of the traders but if you haven't a polite but firm...

This is a real experience, the people, what they are buying and selling, how they make a living, you can easily get lost so be careful and keep an eye on your wallet, there are animals, bicycles, motorbikes, taxis and all modes of transport on the narrow streets so you have to be careful, remember to carry water with you...

Definately worth a walk through. Just walk to the right so you can see the bikes and the mopeds coming towards you. There is SO much there! Extraordinary! Unless you want to buy ignore all advances! Just wander through at your own pace....very easy to get lost.... ask a tourist if they know which way the square is or you... More

What an amazing place, as long as you can just say no to those you dont require the services of you will have an amazing time and you can get cheap everything here. Check on mobile ebay prices of things you are interested in first to make sure you are paying at least half of what you would pay on... More

Just has to be visited, barter hard and don't point at the goods on show as the stall holders will be all over you! More

You have to be a smart trader too and play the game with the locals. In case a shop owner approach you, and you are not interested, stay calm and friendly but say resolute "NO merci" or "La shukran" More

Wao!! amazing place and real experience. The medina of Marrakech is the best of we have seen. The narrow alleys and the colorful hand crafts are something that you need to see and admire. Don't squander time and visit Marrakech and its souks. More

Chaotic bustle, you will get lost, but don't worry about it. Just enjoy marvelling at just how many trinkets they can fit into such a small space, and haggling and bantering with the vendors. No MArrakech trip is complete without a souk visit. More

This is a crazy place that one minute has you packing your bags and wanting to move to Marrkech then the next it will have you close to tears and wanting to go home. I stayed in marrakech for a week and had my first ever case of hey fever for the first two days every time I went near... More
