If you want to by things in the souks or anywhere else, you HAVE TO bargain!

As tourist, you are the main target because you are not supposed to know the real value of the things you buy...So a good advice....if you want to buy something special, ask to a local person (a moroccan friend is better ) what is the normal price of it. Most of the time, the saleman say a price according to the person... so it is up to you to negociate to the price you are willing to pay for it...if it does not work...leave! Another advice is to say that you had a better offer is another shop, that encourage the saleman to beat this offer.
