Did you really go to Marrakech if you didn't visit the Souks?
Answer is no. We absolutely recommend visiting the markets on a day trip! In this blog post we'll explain the different types of market and our tips.
Our taxi driver was an absolute BABE and took us to various Souks and would wait for us as we went out to explore at a designated spot. Then we'd get back in and he'd take us to the next spot like our own little chauffeur.
We think it's common practice for taxi drivers to offer to pick you up again because when we went out for dinner at La Trattoria (BLOG POST UP!) the taxi man gave us his number and said he'd pick us up in 2hrs which was p e r f e c t and takes out the stress of trying to find a taxi back to the hotel.
Types of Souks:
Slipper
Spice
Lanterns
Carpets
TIP - Dress conservative (ish) Morrocco is an Islamic country so when outside of the hotel, restaurants, bars you should cover up as a sign of respect: your shoulders, legs (thighs) and chest. We had all of it covered and still got stared at quite a bit
TIP - don't be afraid to take lots of photos in the individual stalls! We were a bit wary at first but all the shop keepers were super welcoming and invited us to take photos as they believe this is free marketing
We had a lot of fun during out trip to the markets, took lots of photos, chatted to lots of sellers and it's one of our highlights of our holiday so completely recommend.
