    • I was warned by my tour manager NOT to deal with the North African Vendors. Not only is it illegal for them to sell items, it is also illegal to buy them.

    If you do decide to deal with them, watch for the police, and only pay 1/3 of what they are asking.

    Also, if you are not interested just ignore them. No means Yes or No could mean, "I don't understand, please explain how wonderful this trinket really is!"
