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

    The souk in Sousse is absolutely amazing with hundreds of shops and stalls selling Tunisian souvenirs like carpets, blankets, cloth, copper ware, pottery and jewellery. Some of the leather and tiles for sale were the best I have seen. I would highly recommend the soft, fresh dates, displayed still attached to the branch where they grew and tasting nothing like the hard, sugary dates found in British supermarkets.
    Haggling is, of course, expected and part of the fun. For those that prefer not to haggle, quite a lot of the shops selling tourist-aimed items are 'prix fixe', (fixed price).
    We found the shopkeepers at the souk to be very friendly and felt both safe and comfortable.

    The souk is situated in Sousse's Medina, a warren of streets contained within ancient walls. A map is highly recommended.
