Souk Shopping in Morocco

While traveling through Morocco, you will surely find yourself far from bored and nothing short of having the time of your life. With plenty to see, do and discover, Morocco has become a destination hub for those looking to have unique adventures, thrills and experiences unlike anywhere else in the world. The following are some ideas on what you may want to check out during your next trip to stunning Morocco:

Wander the Souks

Also commonly referred to by travelers simply as markets, Moroccan souks are filled with what seem like miles long stalls of vendors offering handicrafts of leather, artisan wares, souvenirs and so much more. You may have to try out your bargaining skills while there but in doing so, you will surely walk away with some treasures that will last you a lifetime.

Ride a Camel

No trip to Morocco is ever complete without a camel ride. One of the best and most adventurous things you can do while in Morocco is head down to the Sahara for a few days and spend hours riding a camel and exploring the dunes. The most popular place to do just that is in a small town called Merzouga where you will be well taken care of and taken on a beautiful journey unlike any you have experienced before.

Indulge in the Food

One thing is for certain when you are spending time in Morocco; you will never go hungry. With delicious options from pastilla, a chicken breast covered in pastry dough and then covered in almonds, cinnamon and sugar, to the tasty avocado smoothies, you will love the way Moroccans eat.

Take a Bath

If you have just spent all day wandering the souks, looking for camels to ride and eating more than you should have, you are most likely looking for a good way to simply sit back and relax. The perfect way to do that is to head to the hammam where you can enjoy a full spa day filled with optional clothing, black soap and plenty of Moroccan people to chat with you while enjoying your unique bathing experience.
