SHOPPING IN MARRAKECH, TE guided by the ZOCOS. Well, this is nothing new. Surely you know that Marrakech has one of the most famous souks or markets of the world. In fact, Marrakech had its origins as a market town to be a crossroads for passing caravans. This still makes it an excellent place for shopping. Under the souks, has blossomed trade throughout the city and while inside the Medina we have a more traditional and Artisanal, outside, in the new part of the city, luxury and large firms charge prominence and we can find the same products as in any big city in the world. Marrakech has not escaped Globalisation, but within the Medina, in the souks, seems to have arrived yet and lost in them is a trip to the past.
