VISIT OF SOUKS AND JAMAA EL FNA SQUARE

The souks are a maze of hundreds of shops , stalls, small streets and narrow alleyways. This is indeed a feast for the senses with rows of spices, perfumed oils, magic potions, silver, gold, brass, kaftans, slippers, leather goods, carpets and rugs. This is just a small idea of what you will find in the souks. We then proceed to Jamaa El Fna square where you will find thousands of people milling around either selling, buying or just watching. This incredible show goes on around you at a furious pace while story tellers go on with their stories.
