Haggling over a bargain: it's either something you thrive on or run away from. But whichever camp you fall into, the souks and casbahs of Morocco, Syria and Tunisia - to mention just a few - are well worth a visit for the spectacle alone. Here are some of the best tips on Been there - if you can add to them we'll have them for two camels

Going to the Souk Elhed with a local

Posted by Happyzo 28 August 2010

It is definately worth investigating hiring a guide to go around the souk with you in Morocco. Not only will you get less hassle from the sellers but you can avoid getting lost (it is a maze) and also benefit from their local knowledge.
Be careful as most guides will receive a commission from stall owners for bringing tourists, but don't let this deter you.
Preferable if you are female.
