The Souks
N
ORTH OF JEMAA EL FNA
is one vast area of tightly squeezed commerce
with dozens of narrow alleyways, all lined with shops the size of
cupboards selling cloth, leather, metalwork, brass lanterns, carpets and
jewellery. Each area is dedicated to a single item, so a street might be
packed with nothing but sellers of canary-yellow leather slippers and another
with vendors of glazed pottery. Don't fall for the sellers' flattering cry, “Hey
my friend, for you I give special price”: it always pays to haggle. Irrespective
of whether you are buying or not, it is an entrancing experience.
