What to do and see in Marrakech, Marrakech-Tensift-El Haouz Region: The Best Flea & Street Markets
The “Red City” of Marrakesh is a magical place, brimming with markets, gardens, palaces, and mosques. Exploring the intimate courtyards and snaking alleyways of the historic Medina can easily eat up a day. Find inner peace at the serene Jardin Majorelle or take in the beauty of one of the city’s historic mosques (taking note that, unless you are Muslim, you are not allowed to enter).

It was here that I loved mooching and soaking up the essence of Marrakech. Up side was it wasn’t too busy or too many people hassling you... if you ignore and don’t give eye contact you’ll be fine... beware of ‘shark’ alley where children and men offer to take you to ‘ the one day when the Berber come down from the mountains to sell their skins to the tannery ‘... these are people who weave you in and out of the alleys and then walk you round one of the many tannery’s giving a whistle stop tour then on to a leather shop where they try and sell you a leather,bag, belt or anything for 10x its value. If you don’t buy the man then asks for money for the ‘tour of the tannery’ 50 euros and if you don’t pay they leave you to find your way back... DONT pay we didn’t and they can’t do anything... we then asked stall holders who were more honest or policeman or woman who directed us back. These sharks are the minority and shop owners warn you as they don’t like them either....!! Once you know this you’ll enjoy the sound.

As you go south of Souk Chouari you will find the colourful Dyer’s Souk or Souk des Teinturiers. It is one of the most photo worthy areas of Marrakech Medina. You can see yards upon yards of dyed yarn hanging over the alleyways, left there to dry. This wool yarn is dyed for the carpet makers. The dyers showed us how dyes changed colours when mixed with water. We were also introduced to the vegetable dyes made from natural products like flowers and saffron.
