Local Market Visit

Markets, or souks, are a major feature in Moroccan life and in particular in rural areas. Each town has its special souk quarter that operates once a week and the towns in which they take place are named in part after the day of their souk. When the first souks appeared within Morocco, they were nothing more than small areas outside the city for the trading of goods, business negotiations, social gatherings, and a way for people to stay in touch with developments in the region. Today souks have become an important part of the culture socially and act as the heart of any town. Souks begin on the afternoon preceding souk day, as people travel from all over the region; those who live nearer set out early in the morning of the souk day. If you are in the right place at the right time our guides and drivers are informed to include a visit to your itineraries.
