Shopping Marrakesh

The hardest part about visiting Marrakesh is also the most fun! It is good to bargain but...many unscrupulous merchants feed on the ignorance of foreigners, or even their kindness, to soak them dry. This is where I come in.

I stand by and help if you need to know where to start with the bargaining process. Now even I do not expect to get the same bargain as a Moroccan would.

After all, it is generally understood that foreigners have greater buying power than do Moroccan people. But very often Moroccan merchants tell stories, and use whatever clever device they can to deceive and take advantage of well meaning people from abroad. Again, my job is to help you to find a good median between a fair deal as a tourist wanting to buy something beautiful, and...paying too much for it.

My job as an exporter has also made it possible for me to buy directly from the Berber artisans who make the crafts rather than get caught up with merchants who very often exploit Berber labor. I cannot promise wholesale prices for your purchases, but very often I can help you get much better prices and also, help to make the buying experience a good one.

We work as interpreters, considering that most people in Morocco do not speak English.  We give you an insider tour. Please write: info@tourguidemarrakech.com.

Need a riad?  We have several available riads for you to choose from, on quiet streets away from noisy medina crowds!


Our Services


  • Walking Tour of the Medina: Our own lessons in getting around the tourism congestion and those who are unscrupulous merchants is of great help for those whom we tour the medina with.  We take our guests to the very merchants we buy from for the greatest deals, while strolling the beautiful back streets as well as the famed Jamaa-El Fna Square, where you can watch snake charmers, storytellers, henna artists and musicians.  We finish our tour out with Moroccan cuisine overlooking the square as night falls.

  • We find you safe Cuisine: Sometimes foods are not cooked properly in restaurants, so we have found the safest restaurants that guarantee fresh cuisine as well as great Moroccan atmosphere at fair prices.
