Refreshing Orange Juice! and other Marrakesh, Morocco Things to Do Tips

After walking around the souqs (and eventually finding your way back out), why not take a stroll through Place Djemma El Fnaa and enjoy a freshly squeezed orange juice from the plethora of vendors here. You will find plenty of carts stacked high with oranges (alongside others stacked with dates) - take your pick they all offer more or less the same.

A fresh orange juice (cool and refreshing) will cost you around 3Dhs (June 2007 prices) and see you on your way to your next destination.

Address: Place Djemma El Fnaa
Directions: Centrally located in the heart of old Marrakech.

Finding the sunshine a little too much - take a stroll into the souqs of Marrakech. The alleyways are sufficiently narrow to offer shade from the heat of the Moroccan sunshine!

You will find almost anything your heart desires for sale - shoes, jewellery, clothes, spices, olives, traditional crafts, etc. Pay how much or how little you want - everything comes in low to high quality and you pay accordingly (or dependent on how much the vendor can stretch your wallet)!!

Be warned - prices can fluctuate and its easy to get yourself a bargain if you're prepared to put in a little effort. I was looking for a keyring and saw a stall with a large selection but none that I particularly liked. The stall owner went off to a friend and brought a few more - one of which I liked; he asked 60Dhs, a lot more than I wanted to pay, but then reduced to 55 and 50Dhs. I refused politely and walked away - to which he shouted 5DHs!!! I didn't return but couldn't believe how much he would go down to from 60DHs!
