Souk El Had is Morocco’s largest urban market, with some 6,000 shops and stalls, and you can expect to find just about everything on sale. Clothing, electronics, and homeware are sold here, as well as traditional handicrafts, Moroccan specialties like argan oil and Amlou, and a myriad of spices.

The market operates daily Tuesday–Sunday, and while there are no official opening hours, most stalls are open from 6am to 8:30pm. Come on a weekday morning for a quieter shopping experience with fewer crowds. Or, opt to arrive on a Sunday—the busiest day—to soak up the atmosphere.

Morocco is a Muslim country, so it’s respectful to adhere to local customs and wear modest clothing. This generally means covering your upper arms and legs. Opt for lightweight clothing, as it can get hot in the souks, and wear comfy shoes, as you’ll be doing plenty of walking.

Yes, haggling is all part of the shopping experience in Morocco! It’s useful to have an idea of prices beforehand—this is where a local guide can help. Otherwise, start by offering 50 percent of the starting price. Generally, it’s best only to start negotiations if you’re genuinely interested in buying.
