Souks
Marrakech is home to a labyrinth of bustling
souks
(workshops and markets) offering the city's most fascinating wares.
Whether shopping or exploring, they are a must for any visitor. At
the northern end of the souks, best accessed from the Ben Youssef
Mosque, has blacksmiths making wrought-iron goods and the distinct
odour of leather workshops. The stalls emerge further south and are
met by the Rahba Kedima, a market famous for its bizarre offerings
of animals and eccentric potions for spells.
Address: From Ben Youssef Mosque to Rahba Kedima;
Transport: The souks are best explored on foot.
