The currency is the dirham. One dirham is approximately 0.10. Morocco produces a craft of great richness: pottery, brassware, woodwork varnished damasquinerie, carpets, jewelry, furniture, leather, etc. lanterns. The souks (markets) are filled with a veritable profusion of objects.

Note: Prices shown are rarely, except in official stores in large cities. Enquire before buying, and always negotiate the price. Negotiation depends on many factors, but it can easily be envisaged to begin the discussion by offering a lower price than a third or by half compared to that offered by the vendor (sometimes much more). In the souks of Marrakesh (tourist town), sellers in your opinion and proactively friendly to you "hang" but if you keep the conversation (because you are polite) you will be required to enter directly into the store "for please the eye "and under pressure rather unpleasant when the trader insist heavily to make you try everything and anything and unpack half of his shop. Displaying a facade of bonhomie at the beginning, the tone will gradually become more aggressive and dry As the "hostage taking". If you do not buy at the price offered or not, you will often not qualify for a "goodbye" and you will testify a real contempt when you leave (do not draw you a picture). This turns any visit to the medina in "dispatch" which do not always leave a positive feeling ... For cons, in a city like Essaouira (Atlantic coast) behaviors are much more peaceful, traders taking the first step with many greater caution and respect, and the fact not to buy will cause resentment rarely hate the seller. The situations are quite different from one place to another but in general it is better to visit the official stores (craft shops, craft set, etc..) To pay the "fair price" (or at If the posted price)

Gift ideas
