The Souqs of Marrakech are one of the best of the whole country. In Fes you always need a guide to orientate in the Souqs, but this is much easier to find the way in Marrakech. You can admire a great variety of crafts, buy a lot of rubbish, in the air the oriental smell t of the different spices. Craftsmen make tea pots, kettles, candle stands, vases, lamps....In the bazaars you can find delicious pastries, all sort of spices…...here the traditional mint tea is offered and there men in Djellabahs sit behind their mechanical sewing machines, during the tradesman next door stack up his wool.

The different crafts are separated in the lanes. If you starts in the north at the mosque Ben Youssef you will first find the Coppersmith, dyers, the iron works. If you continue you arrives at the former slave souq, not far away the Jewellers are found and the leatherworks.
