Marrakesh's Shopping and Lunch Experience with a Local

Medina of Marrakesh

Pass-by Only

Founded in 1070–72 by the Almoravids, Marrakesh remained a political, economic and cultural centre for a long period. Its influence was felt throughout the western Muslim world, from North Africa to Andalusia. It has several impressive monuments dating from that period: the Koutoubiya Mosque, the Kasbah, the battlements, monumental doors, gardens, etc. Later architectural jewels include the Bandiâ Palace, the Ben Youssef Madrasa, the Saadian Tombs, several great residences and Place Jamaâ El Fna, a veritable open-air theatre.

Morocco, apart from the different old world charms and historic monuments it withholds inside its bowels, is also very famous and prominent as an indigenous hub of spices and natural additive as much as it holds renown globally for the Moroccan Rugs For Sale. Hence it comes as no surprise that Moroccan food is also a major tourist attraction. On this interesting and intriguing tour we have as many items lined up for a visual feast as we have for a culinary feast as well. Moroccan food is regarded as one of the best cuisine in the world and it is the outcome of the special herbs and spices that food is concocted in.

This a traditional bazaar for carpets where merchants lay down their wares and once can be too spoilt for choice to arrive to a decision. The mighty carpet has a legacy in this part of the world, especially having to live up to the expectations of its miraculous counterpart in the Arabian Nights. So if you are a savant of traditional Moroccan Style Rug, or the typical Black and White Moroccan Rug, this might your chance to seize the bargain of a lifetime. While the prices on display might not do their bit to encourage your shopping spree, but do not worry as these are inflated prices in tourist centers. When we have to make a purchase we will visit the whole sellers who have a relaxed price spread for their wares and authentic and approved traditional wares at that.
