Souks
MédinaAbout
North of Jemaa El Fna lies the souk market kingdom of Marrakech. On your first visit, it's easy to loose all sense of direction in this labyrinth of shops and little crowded alleyways. Souk Semmarine Street is the classic starting point of the touristy tours of the souks. Along this street, the shops feature all kinds of handcrafted items, but most of the time the souks remain faithful to a founding principle: each souk corresponds to a specific craft guild, like in the Souk Sebhaghine the dye souksouk of babouches, those oriental slippers.
