Marrakech Souks and Medina mission for Marrakech shopping. I'm buying Moroccan tiles for a friend. We venture deep in the Marrakech Souk market in search of these tiles, let me assure you a Marrakech Souk guide would have been most appreciated but I *think* I did alright exploring this Marrakech Souks and Medina, ultimately buying some Moroccan tiles. The Marrakech Souks and Medina are simply not to be missed if you're coming for Marrakech shopping. In fact, if you're in Marrakech the Souk and Medina are two of the largest tourist attractions and great for shopping. Chances are you'll be staying in the Medina anyways as there are lots of Medina restaurants and hotels to cater to tourists. If you're making a mission into the Marrakech Souks and Medina I have some advice for you. First, take your time and give yourself time. The Marrakech Souks are market are endless and if you're in a rush you won't find what you're looking for and at a good price. Also if you are in a rush in the Marrakech Markets you won't price compare and end up paying far too much, these guys are good! If they ask you to suggest a price, don't you'll always suggest far more than it is worth. I search for Moroccan tile and finally find it. Its not the Moroccan tile I'm looking for but it is close and it will do. I don't price compare and end up paying far more than I should have but that's life. Later I find a a place and buy a Moroccan tajine. If you're coming to Morocco and like the food, pick up a Moroccan tajine when you're shopping in the Marrakech Souks and Medina, you will be glad you did! Later I find a Marrakech restaurant in the Medina and have an alright meal, I should have shopped around more much like the tiles. The Marrakech Souks aren't dangerous if you go during the day. There are so many tourists there that you won't stand out, camera and all. That said, since it is the biggest market in Marrakech do pay attention to your things as busy places open the door for valuables to take a walk. Like this?

In parts of the world the term souk refers to market. The souks I visited have all sorts of stuff to sell from jewelry to fabrics, ceramics, clothing and everything in between. Transcript: hello from Marrakech, Morocco. I'm currently eating some peanuts I bought on the street. We're really close to the Souk in the ancient city of Medina. We're looking for Moroccan tiles, some really good ornate ones. This is a busy spot in the medina market where you can find anything you need. How much is a ginger juice please? It's 6, perfect. We're getting healthy in the Marrakech Medina Main Square. Lots of stuff to buy here in the Souk but not sure about the quality of backpacks, shoes and such. Now we are really starting to get into the souk, I've got 99 problems but spice ain't one. One of the problems in the souk is that if you ask anyone for directions they flag someone who will go show you a shop they get a commission so finding your way can be hard, why having a Marrakech Souk guide makes a big deal. Exploring the market is a good experience, we're on the right path and you'll never know unless you go. Do you know where I can find some Moroccan tiles in the souk? We're sort of on the right track, there we go we've found what we're looking for. I like this one, I like all of them. The mosaic ones are nice and we speak French. That's a deal, I'm not sure what else they had at the artisan place but if you find what you need you gotta take it unless you have lots of time. It's so big you never know if you'll find it or not. I really wan to buy a Moroccan tajine but don't know how I would get it home. Might as well buy a Moroccan tajine and if it breaks on the way home so be it but if it doesn't, cool. I feel good about this because I love tajine and enjoying this Marrakech Souk and Market. If you could ship stuff home, lots of nice shopping available but where I live it's not an option. That was a successful mission and on the topic of tajine let's go find some authentic Moroccan food at a market restaurant and get out of here. Let's push the envelop and eat one of those smoothies of sorts with dates in it. We're going to end the video here, tile shopping in Marrakech in the ancient city of Medina and on that note, I look forward to seeing all of you, tomorrow.
