Souk Semmarine

So this souk is massive and has such a variety of shops. I’m generously rating it 2 stars. Shopkeepers have been very rude in our experience, I thought bartering was part of their culture however as we are from the uk “uk people are rich” insinuating we shouldn’t barter. I mean some shopkeepers really gave silly prices. At one point a shopkeeper tried selling my family member something for £40 when I have already done my research I know it’s not even worth 1/4 of that price I said to her it’s too much don’t get it we will look around. He began swearing at me and arguing. He constantly swore in his own language until I walked off.

I had a better experience there than in Fes—fewer people begging for money, fewer people following you around and being annoying. It felt more organized, safer, and overall nicer. The downsides are the people exploiting monkeys and snakes, and the thousands of motorcycles driving through the souk, sometimes even crashing into people.

I enjoyed walking along the streets, very interesting to see and to smell everything. But they are a bit crowded and you need to be watchful of the motorbikes. I felt safe walking alone but I think later in the evening there are some streets which are very empty of people and I think you need to be a bit more cautious. The people are very friendly. They are not too pushy, of course they want to sell products and make some money but they are not over pushy and they are very polite. Always negotiate the price. Most shops are authentic but there are some selling “genuine fakes”. I recommend you visit if in Marrakesh

Awful collection of "shops" selling the most dreadful selection of merchandise known to man. If you feel you have to visit, limit your time to no more than an hour. Alternatively, go to a public sauna with 50 strangers and have them talk incessantly at you and have another one ride a motorbike at you.

A bargain hunters delight! Immerse yourself in the culture of Marrakech with a wide variety of music and live performances, shops that stock everything you can imagine, foods from all around the world but in particular Moroccan herbs, spices, olives and oils. I wandered here for hours over multiple days and still didn’t cover it all! I only had friendly interactions and didn’t encounter scammers or pickpockets either but beware as it is extremely busy and full of tourists

One of the most beautiful markets filled with beautiful shops featuring souvenirs,ceramics, clothes, leather goods, lamps, spices and everything morocco. I would recommend to get a guide if you want to go to best spots in market without getting lost. Also bargain bargain bargain!!!! People are lovely and friendly, they usually lower down the rates

This place is not for the faint hearted and easily a place to get lost in. Consists of very narrow streets with every type of shop and industry taking place from leather goods, spices, souvenirs, trinkets , health products to men welding bird cages mechanics and carpenters. Packed with people then through into the mix motorbikes being used to deliver things. Our guide said always keep to the right the motorbikes will negotiate you which they did. In the whole people are friendly and will take no our guide said a good haggle starting price is half to 2/3rd asking price if you want to buy. A must see just for the experience.

Alive and vibrant! Keep your bags zipped tight and expect haggle. There is a variety of quality, handcrafted work and then cheap knock off work. It's so fun to explore and most people were kind.
