The Souks in Marrakesh are full of atmosphere, with shopkeepers selling their products to both locals and tourists alike. However you would be forgiven for thinking that we tourists get a somewhat poorer deal!
The souks are narrow and tend to be covered over, as seen in this shot. This can lead to some challenging conditions for photography. Choice of ISO and aperture are key to producing a workable shutter speed.
The most popular products for sale are leather goods, such as Moroccan slippers, belts and bags, lanterns (as pictured in a previous post), and carved and inlaid wood products such as jewelry boxes, table tops and chess sets.
If you visit then brace yourselves for the sometimes over zealous attentions of the vendors, trying to gain your custom. You will become used to cries of "Special Price, Asda Price" as you pass by almost every shop! (UK viewers will understand the Asda reference!).
