Markets Morocco

The old Jewish quarter of Mellah has three markets where it is good to stroll. The jewellers' souk brings together about fifty merchants, selling mainly gold. As for the covered market, it houses fabric stalls and a profusion of haberdasheries. The spice souk offers an impressive variety of spices and mysterious goods not always identifiable, but also common products such as black soap, henna or ghassoul: do not hesitate to ask herbalists about their use, it is very edifying.

To be seen outside the biological rest periods for the great diversity of fish and shellfish offered, even if a large part of the noble products is reserved for export. The fish market offers different types of catches in this area, which is very favorable to fishermen, who try to regulate access to plan a sustainable hunt. This is where most of the city's quality restaurants are located. Clean and well laid out, the Dakhla market is a national reference, and ensures distribution throughout the Kingdom.

It is held on Wednesday and Sunday.

There is a very friendly atmosphere in this small typical market with its alleys, its arcades and its semi-covered galleries. You can meet people who love flowers in pots and birds, the two specialities of the place. There is a friendly and popular atmosphere between the cages of colourful parakeets and laying hens. This is also the place where pet owners buy supplies. The many pet shops sell specialised food for cats, dogs, fish... and birds!

Far from the atmosphere of the souk of Tangier popular with tourists, here you can enjoy a traditional village market. Merchants of all kinds take over the roadside every Saturday morning. You will find food (fish, fruits and vegetables, meat...) as well as clothes and everyday goods. The market of Ksar Es Shir is similar to our country markets, but in a typical Moroccan atmosphere and by the sea. It is an opportunity to stroll around and take out your calculator to negotiate the best prices.
