Old Medina — Christina Brzustoski Like

Haggling in the Bazaars of the Old Medina in Tangiers, Morocco

One of the essential Moroccan experiences is a trip to the bazaar in the Old Medina. Exotic smells of cumin and cardamom drift in the air. The sounds of metal workers plying their craft in the streets surround you. The bright blues and reds of the carpets try to capture your attention, as do their shopkeepers who yell out “Hey lady!” And when you finally spot that perfect Moroccan souvenir, it is time to haggle. The key to haggling is to never hesitate. If you pause for even a half of a second, you may find yourself with some bongos from Tangiers that you never intended to buy.
