    How to bargain in the zouk: 1. Show some interest and ask price 2. Say "too expensive" and start leaving. Don't offer a price. Wait for a second offer from the seller 3. Offer no more than 1/3 of the first offer, or 1/2 of the second one 4. Start bargaining till no more than half the first offer 5. If you don't reach an agreement, leave. If the seller doesn't react, you know your offer was too low. 6 You are ready to start again in the next shop. Good luck!

    It should be one of the Wonders of the World! It's time travel to another era, another world! Stores with thousands of spices with hundreds of lamps are amazing Walking through its alleys is not for everyone, warning! You will get stressed, you will get overwhelmed because they are quite intense when it comes to calling you to come into their store, you will be surprised, you will negotiate with the merchants because it is a local tradition and they will always tell you a higher price than the one you really have to bargain for. It is an experience that will not leave you indifferent due to the great contrast it has to everything you will see in the rest of the world. I loved it, I spent several days exploring the Souk and it is so big that you won't have time to see it all. Without a doubt a mandatory visit. Tip: Don't let them insist on entering stores or telling you to take you somewhere. And always use Google Maps with the Jeema el Fna square point so you won't get lost in the streets.

    It is an incredible experience not suitable for claustrophobics. The first positions (which usually have everything) are the most touristy and the least interesting. You have to calmly enter, letting yourself be carried away by intuition, into these wonderful labyrinths. This is where the real thing is: the leather craftsmen busy at their sewing machines, the dyers, the metal workers... In the souks the art of haggling prevails, although for a Westerner it is exhausting. It is part of its essence. Enter without harm. They are safe and the merchants leave you alone as soon as you say you just want to look.

    Retrocede en el tiempo y sumérgete en un lugar de contrastes en todos los sentidos, te asaltarán a todas horas para venderte lo que puedan. Por lo general las tiendas están separadas por temática, pero lo dicho, por lo general. Puedes encontrarte una venta de vasijas con una carnicería al lado seguida de una venta de cuero. Si te quieres llevar un pollo lo tienes fácil, miras, eliges que pollo quieres, y ahí mismo lo sacrifica, lo limpia y te lo llevas caliente. Los animales de más tamaño los cuelgan en sus entradas. El regateo es fundamental a la hora de comprar, eso si, solo para elementos que no tengan precio marcado, con precio marcado no está bien regatear, a no ser que te lleves una gran cantidad de lo mismo y quieras que te rebaje algo. Lo dicho una locura de sitio y unos puestos callejeros de comida en los que 2 adultos pueden comer por 10€ o menos.

    (Translated by Google) The soul of the city. You'll start out hating it, you'll end up worshiping it. You'll start off hating haggling and end up more hooked than angry birds xD. Very genuine, very ethnic, very oppressive. Don't be afraid of getting lost, because you're going to get lost anyway. Nothing happens in the end you end up going out to the square. Do not speak out loud about what catches your attention or you like otherwise you will be lost, because they understand everything, even if you speak in Portuguese xD. There is everything, incredible things and a lot of junk for dumb tourist. Do not despair, there are several kilometers of alleys and stalls. (Original) El alma de la ciudad. Lo empezaras odiando lo acabaras adorando. Comenzaras aborreciendo el regateo y acabaras mas enganchado que al angry birds xD. Muy genuino, muy étnico, muy agobiante. No tengas miedo de perderte, porque te vas a perder de todos modos. No pasa nada al final acabas saliendo a la plaza. No hables en alto sobre lo que te llama la atención o te gusta sino estarás perdido, porque lo entienden todo, aunque hables en portugriego xD. Hay de todo, cosas increíbles y mucha chatarrada para turista tonto. No desesperes, son varios kilómetros de callejuelas y puestos.

    (Translated by Google) Do not be fooled by the guides, they do not ask for money but you end up going through all their contacts so that you spend. Hahahaha a site that you have to visit yes or yes. Haggling I see you! (Original) No te dejes engañar por los lazarillos, no piden dinero pero acabas pasando por todos sus contactos para que gastes. Jajajaja un sitio que tienes que visitar si o si. El regateo que te veo!

    (Translated by Google) A must see in Marrakech, with many shops and stalls with all kinds of items. Although you will have to bargain in all of them if you want to get good prices and cheap, because they will try to strain as much as possible. (Original) Un lugar imprescindible de ver en Marrakech, con muchísimas tiendas y puestos con todo tipo de artículos. Aunque tendrás que regatear en todas ellas si quieres conseguir buenos precios y baratos, porque te van a intentar colar lo más posible.

    (Translated by Google) It is like the most touristy but represents a constant burden for the tourist. It is definitely the area to visit the must-see and not only that, but spending a lot of time there. You can find a wide variety of products, the lamps they offer are certainly beautiful. Be careful with the prices they give you since they raise up to 4 times the price just when they see a tourist. (Original) Es como lo más turístico pero representa un agobio constante para el turista. Definitivamente es la zona a visitar el imperdible y no solo eso, sino pasar bastante tiempo ahí. Puedes encontrar una gran variedad de productos, las lámparas que ofrecen sin duda son hermosas. Ojo con los precios que te dan ya que le suben hasta 4 veces al precio justo cuando ven a un turista.

  • 3/5 Nena Von F. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The souk is nice, full of shops and flea markets, but in my opinion it is quite overwhelming, the location does not work well and it is very easy to get lost. If you can hire a guide, it will be cheaper than losing you and asking for help from a local, they will try to get you as much money as possible. I like to buy quiet and it is not a place for such a thing. (Original) El zoco es bonito, lleno de comercios y mercadillos, pero en mi opinión es bastante agobiante, no funciona bien la localización y es muy fácil perderse. Si puedes contratar un guía te saldrá más barato que perderte y pedir ayuda algún lugareño, intentarán sacarte el máximo dinero posible. A mi me gusta comprar tranquilo y no es un sitio para tal cosa.

    Una locura , hay de todo inclusive tránsito de motos por dentro, y lo más increíble es que no pasa nin uno acodente.Mas para compras esta muy bien , precios , variedad , todo lo que pueda imaginar , hiervas, ropas , bijuterias, de todo. Los precios están bien más no se olvide de negociar , pues es una tradición en el país. Los de las tiendas son un espetáculo, te tratan súper bien , en la mayoría te oferece un Te .

    Nice stuff but overpriced. Tourist trap with same prices that I have in my country for those products. I literally found something I saw back in my city more expensive after the “discount”. They rather not sell than sell to a fair price.

  • 5/5 Victoria M. 4 years ago on Google • 93 reviews
    It's a wonderful experience full of different feelings, flavours and smells. A few people making henna tattoos, others playing music to snakes, everywhere filled with stands with lamps, silver plates and cutlery, etnic and colourful clothing, ... At night it's a whole different story, and Jamaa el fna becomes very lifefull with all the food stands.

    (Translated by Google) Although we've all heard of this place, you don't get the idea of ​​the enormity and variety until you're there. Huge and with everything you could want. Safe place. Kind people and excellent negotiators, we have not in vain been one of the best merchants. (Original) Aunque todos hemos oído hablar de este sitio, no te haces a la idea de la enormidad y variedad hasta q estás allí. Enorme y con todo lo q puedas desear . Lugar seguro. Gente amable y excelentes negociadores, no hemos n vano han sido de los mejores mercaderes.

  • 5/5 DA V. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Getting lost, haggling, buying or even getting a little angry are some of the premises that you have to be clear about before entering the Souk, as well as being one of the best tips for traveling to Marrakech. In the middle of the Medina and entering the north side of the Jamaa el Fna square, you will enter a labyrinth of alleys full of shops and the occasional food stall, which will delight shopping lovers. It is important to know that in the souk you can find countless things: from the typical metal lanterns, slippers, djellabas, tea sets, spices, nuts, even clothing. In addition, as you enter this magical place, you will see that the artisans of the same branch are grouped in the same area of ​​the souk, thus making it much easier for the traveler to find what they are looking for. Our favorite is the dyers' souk, with its colored wool dried in the sun, although there are many others that are worth visiting, such as the henna souk, with cosmetic items, the silk, cotton and slipper souk called Kissaria Serrajine, the carpets known as the Tillis souk, the cauldron souk called Es-Seffarine souk or the Nejjarine souk with wooden items. Another picturesque place is the Species Square (Rahba Kedima) full of stalls selling species of a thousand colors and aromas where you can also find natural henna artists. It is very important to ignore the guides who want to take you on a route through the souks, since you will surely end up in a store buying more expensive items. It is for this reason that we recommend you to explore them on foot, letting yourself go and above all, enjoying the place. Although at some point it can become overwhelming, without a doubt this is one of the most essential places to visit in Marrakech. Visiting hours: every day from 9am to 7pm. They close on Friday mornings. (Original) Perderse, regatear, comprar o incluso enojarse un poco, son algunas de las premisas que tienes que tener claras antes de entrar en el Zoco además de ser uno de los mejores consejos para viajar a Marrakech. En plena Medina y entrando por el lateral norte de la Plaza Jamaa el Fna te adentrarás en un laberinto de callejuelas llenas de tiendas y algún que otro puesto de comida, que harán las delicias a los amantes de las compras. Es importante saber que en el zoco puedes encontrar infinidad de cosas: desde los típicos farolillos de metal, babuchas, chilabas, juegos de té, especias, frutos secos, hasta ropa. Además, a medida que te adentres en este mágico lugar, verás que los artesanos del mismo ramo se agrupan en una misma zona del zoco, siendo así mucho más fácil para el viajero, encontrar lo que busca. Nuestro favorito es el zoco de los tintoreros, con su lanas de colores secadas al sol, aunque hay otros muchos que merece la pena recorrer como zoco del henna, con artículos cosméticos, el de seda, algodón y babuchas llamado Kissaria Serrajine, el de las alfombras conocido como el zoco Tillis, el de los calderos llamado zoco Es-Seffarine o el zoco Nejjarine con artículos de madera. Otro pintoresco lugar es la Plaza de las Especies (Rahba Kedima) repleta de puestos de venta de especies de mil colores y aromas en la que además podrás encontrar dibujantes de henna natural. Es muy importante no hacer caso de los guías que te quieran hacer una ruta por los zocos, ya que seguro que terminarás en alguna tienda comprando más caro. Es por ese motivo que te recomendamos recorrerlos a pie, dejándote llevar y sobre todo, disfrutando del lugar. Pese a que en algún momento pueda llegar a agobiar, sin duda este es uno de los lugares que visitar en Marrakech más imprescindibles. Horario de visita: todos los días de 9h a 19h. Cierran los viernes por la mañana.

  • 3/5 Asís de la S. 1 year ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) An endless number of narrow streets full of stalls and shops that occupy the kilometers of cobbled street that the Souk occupies. Its merchants take their work very seriously, kindly but insistently they will make you see and, in many cases, buy their products. It is a matter of taste but in my case, a morning or an afternoon is enough. Of course, be very careful with the traffic (yes, traffic) inside the souk. Bicycles, motorcycles, carriages, even horses pulling carts will cross your path without much regard. It is a safe place, without incidents, but watch out for the vehicles (Original) Un sinfín de callejuelas repletas de puestos y tiendas que ocupan los kilómetros de calle empedrada que ocupa el Zoco. Sus mercaderes se toman muy en serio su trabajo, con amabilidad pero con insistencia te harán ver y, en muchos casos, comprar sus productos. Es cuestión de gustos pero en mi caso, con una mañana o una tarde es suficiente. Eso sí, mucho cuidado con el tráfico (sí, tráfico) dentro del zoco. Bicicletas, motos, carricoches, incluso caballos tirando de carro se cruzarán en tu camino sin mucho miramiento. Es un lugar seguro, sin incidentes, pero ojo a los vehiculos

    (Translated by Google) It is an experience that must be lived. It is true that the merchants can overwhelm you a bit but in the end you know what you are going for. I dont have nothing to complaint about. It is a safe place. (Original) Es una experiencia que hay que vivir. Es verdad que los comerciantes pueden agobiar un poco pero al final uno sabe a lo que va. No tengo queja. Es un lugar seguro.

  • 5/5 Gabriel E. 1 year ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) You love it and you hate it, it's the stress of the shopkeepers, the motorcycles rubbing against you, the smell and at the same time the beauty of it is like going back to antiquity, I've returned from my trip to Morocco and I miss it sometimes. We had the opportunity to meet a great person named Abdu. (Original) Lo quieres y lo odias, es el agobio de los tenderos, las motos rozandote, el olor y a la vez la belleza de es como volver a la antigüedad, yo he vuelto de mi viaje a Marruecos y lo echo de menos a veces. Tuvimos la oportunidad de conocer a una gran persona llamada Abdu.

    (Translated by Google) As there are experiences and opinions for everything, I have to say that it didn't seem like an insecure site, nor did I feel that pressure that some people talk about the merchants there. It is chaotic, like all of Marrakech, there are alleys that look like a labyrinth but you DO NOT get lost. If you keep walking you end up leaving it or reaching some known point where you can orient yourself. They have everything. Olives galore. Argan oil. Various spices. Imitation tennis for a low price that although it shows that they are imitation for the price they are great. Lots of leather, backpacks, handbags... all of different qualities. It is worth entering and searching, looking and touching, seeing qualities and haggling. (Original) Como para todo hay experiencias y opiniones, tengo que decir que ni me pareció un sitio inseguro, ni sentí esa presión de la que alguna gente habla sobre los comerciantes de allí. Es caótico, como todo el Marrakech, hay callejones que parecen un laberinto pero NO te pierdes. Si sigues caminando acabas saliendo de él o llegando a algún punto conocido en el que puedes orientarte. Tienen de todo. Aceitunas a montones. Aceite de argán. Especias varias. Tenis de imitación por precio bajo que aunque se nota que son imitación por el precio están genial. Mucho cuero, mochilas, bolsos carteras… todo de diferentes calidades. Merece la pena adentrarse y buscar, mirar y tocar, ver calidades y regatear.

    (Translated by Google) It is a unique place that you must visit, hundreds of stalls where you can haggle and buy things, a bit stressful due to its overcrowding and pressure from some vendors, the worst being the stalls where they have snakes and monkeys. (Original) Es un sitio único de obligada visita, cientos de puestos donde regatear y comprar cosas, un poco estresante por su masificación y por la presión de algunos vendedores, lo peor los puestos donde tienen serpientes y monos.

    Para los europeos, un lugar distinto, con muchísimo encanto. Me sorprendió muy gratamente. Más de 6.000 puestos de venta de lo más variopintos, algunos realmente humildes y otros espectaculares. ¡Muy recomendable!

    (Translated by Google) The Souk of Marrakech is a labyrinth of alleys full of stalls and stalls where Moroccans do their shopping. The souk extends from the north of Jamaa el Fna Square and occupies dozens of labyrinthine streets. In it you can buy all kinds of clothes, spices, food, handicrafts and typical products. (Original) El Zoco de Marrakech es un laberinto de callejuelas llenas de puestos y tenderetes donde los marroquíes hacen sus compras. El zoco se extiende desde el norte de la Plaza de Jamaa el Fna y ocupa decenas de laberínticas calles. En él podréis comprar todo tipo de ropa, especias, comida, artesanía y productos típicos.

  • 4/5 diana c. 1 year ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is a very special place, but I liked more the experience of traveling to the desert and getting to know the culture during the trip, more than the city, the views of the outskirts, of the desert. The city is a bit hostile, however it is worth knowing. (Original) Es un lugar muy especial, pero me gusto más la experiencia de viajar al desierto e ir conociendo la cultura durante el viaje, más q la ciudad las vistas de las afueras, del desierto. La ciudad es un poco hostil, sin embargo vale la pena conocerlo.
