Visit the souks and shops of the medina:

The souks of Marrakech encompass the myriad of small markets in the medina. From artisans to carpet sellers, spice sellers, slipper makers, jewelers, leather workers, potters, etc., you will be surprised by the diversity of the products on offer. It is easy to get lost, so we recommend that you hire a guide (legitimate, because there are imposters) to uncover the secrets and anecdotes of the Marrakech medina.
