Just look at those quality leather jackets hanging up in this shop. You will be told it's all genuine Moroccan leather, but I don't know how you can be 100 per cent sure.
What to pay: Probably too much. You must haggle!

Another part of our guided tour was a visit to a shop selling handmade Moroccan carpets, and another shop selling Spices.
The carpet shop also sold leather goods and pottery, coloured plates and so on. The cost of the carpets was, of course, astronomical, and no one even considered buying one. We bought a couple of colourful plates and a leather shoulder bag (for Mary). Although we 'haggled', I'm certain we paid far too much for them. But it was still fun (???).
What to buy: We were then taken to the Spice shop, where a young gentleman, in a white coat, explained all about these magical spices and herbs. Actually his talk was quite interesting, and what he was selling seemed to be a reasonable buy. For instance we bought a 4 gramme sachet of Saffron for 6 Euros. In our local supermarket Saffron costs about 3 Euros for point 4 of a gramme. But.... the Saffron we purchased is in powdered form, whereas the best Saffron is the complete stigma (of the Autumn Crocus). So, we may yet again have been 'fleeced'.
What to pay: Whatever you pay, a warning. They will tell you that they accept Euros, Dollars or Credit Cards. If you pay by Credit Card they will add 10 per cent to the cost!!
As at March 2003 the exchange rate was 10 Dinars to the $ or Euro, or 15 to 16 to the £ GBP.

People who like buying have their paradise in Morocco, not to mention if they love bargain. The Medina of Tangier is one of the paradises.

Once a week the Gypsy market meets in special squares dedicated for that purpose.

The Grand Socco is street after crowded street of stalls selling everything you can imagine. Great place to get a bargain but easy to get lost in this maze.

Better surroundings than the city itself
Tanger was the second place and city I visited in Morocco (after Tetouan) and to be honest it was not my favourite city in Morocco. It seemed to me too dirty, too strange, too unpleasant even...
