.....to the kasbah and the Souks.
Through arches down winding lanes
lined with tiny shops full of amazing goods.
you can buy anything ...anything!
But you have to barter.
Nothing has a price tag.
It wasn't too busy when these pictures were taken but in the late afternoons and evenings the lanes were bustling with life.
Wall to wall people jostled with mopeds, bicycles, handcarts, donkey carts, shopkeepers and tourists.
'Hello beautiful Laydees, I make you nice price..'
'You like beads?
What you pay?'

Not a bit. I am looking forward to the next post. The beads look like a touch of heaven. How did you choose.
I'm loving this trip Jackie! I love the arches and alcoves, the dingly dangly wares hanging in doorways and passageways, the carpets...everything! Did you shop til you dropped?
I'm there with you...loving every second. Next time, keep a little room in your suitcase for me - I can diet to fit, honestly!
Glad you had a wondrous time xx
It is great fun Jackie - I rather wish I had been on the same trip. Marakesh has never been on the list of places I would like to visit but I think it might just be sneaking on the end!!!! Keep it coming!
tedious? never!!! it's been years since i was there and yet nothing NOTHING has changed. it's amazing really, isn't it? i'm sure i'm not the only one who will be looking forward to seeing some of your purchases. xxx
thank you. this was fun!
I can feel the atmosphere, look forward to the next instalment.
This is wonderful, you must have drooled with excitement at all those marvellous goodies - how heavy was your suitcase coming home! Looking forward to some more photos. Cheers, Robin
Not tedious at all ... it's fascinating. And the pictures are fab. x

Inspiring Jackie,wonderful images.
Tedious? No way! So much temptation everywhere! I love all those hands hanging with the beads. I hope you're going to share the shopping :o)
I can hardly wait to see how your trip will affect your work. I have never been to Marrakech, but have been to Tangiers. The souk has to be experienced in real life, although all your wonderful pictures are giving us the flavor
Oh, those beads look like a dream! I think my husband would have a hard time dragging me away from that stall if I were there...
Thank you again for sharing your great trip - I'm remembering visiting Soukhs in Tunisia - such wonderful sights, sounds, smells (good & bad!,never to be forgotten.
