 Jellaba seller, Marrakesh by suvanki
I'd wanted a kaftan for a while to wear on beach holidays over my swim wear, but I was tempted by the heavier winter weights to snuggle up in on a winters evening- so off to the souks I headed.
I'd surrepticiously glanced at jellabas as I'd wandered through the souks, and had seen some quite decorative styles, but decided I'd be more likely to wear a plainer version.
I found a stall in the souk, and settled down to purchasing a jellabah. I eventually settled on a black silk with a black embroidered trim to the neckline. I've worn it a couple of times so far, once in Marrakesh at night for extra warmth, and once at night over jeans with a belt. My next visit I'll probably buy a winter weight jellaba.
Jellabas and kaftans- great for 'fat' days, or as beach cover ups, could be worn as night wear too, or just for lounging around in!
I paid 180 dh, (after haggling, the original price asked was 500 dh) I was told by the bar man in my hotel that I'd got a good price, he guessed I'd paid 300dh. Leave a Comment Theme: Local CraftAddress: Souk, MarrakeshDirections: Sorry, no idea where this shop was, except it was in the souk!

 Babouches by suvanki
There was an array of colours, some plain, some with beading, some in silks.
Mr Mohammed is NOT a pushy salesman at all- he was very helpful when I wanted advise, but didn't pressurise me to buy.
All of the goods on sale are of a high quality- all hand made (Please see my previous tip for more details)
So - Hand crafted goods of a high quality, at a reasonable (set ) price, with no pressure to buy-- The Perfect place to shop!
Open 10.00 - 12.00 and 15.30-1800hrs. - During prayer times etc, he might not be at his shop, but someone nearby will know where he is and how long he'll be gone, or they'll go and find him
Babouches!
Mr Mohammed also makes and sells a selection of hand bags, wallets, belts and foot stools.
Most of the goods are set price - I paid 175 dh for my hand crafted calf skin babouches.
My total bill was 700dh for these and 3 bags! Leave a Comment Theme: Local CraftAddress: Riad Zitoun El Jadid, Rue Dar Si Said N -20Phone: 066 59 13 37Directions: Between Bahia Palace and Dar Si Said, near Tisikwin museum. From Bahia Palace, follow signs to Dar Si Said. This shop is on your right.

 My tunic with jeans by sunlovey
But believe me, the moment one catches your eye, should the shop keeper notice, you will find yourself being swept into his shop, and practically cornered there until you make a purchase.
You'll find these with long sleeves, short sleeves, shirt length, mid-thigh length and ankle length. Some are solid, while others are woven with stripes. Most are cotton. A lot are "one size fits most".
I purchased my lovely embroidered fuschia tunic for around 150 dirhams, for example. Leave a Comment Theme: Women's Clothes

 With our Babouches by barryg23
The guy in the shop wanted 200 Dirham but we explained we had very little money left and offered 40. He laughed at au and said no way but did lower to 180. We stayed a long time examining them but sadly left as we didn’t have enough. He could se we were interested and when we walked past his shop again he offered them for 100. We said 45 as we had no money left. He was reluctant to go below 75 but he gave in and eventually accepted 50. To think he wanted 250 originally. Leave a Comment Theme: Shoes

The Jalaba or Jellabas is a traditional dress of Morocco. It is more like an robe or overcoat with a hood. Both men and women wear the Jalaba but can be different colours and materials. The Jabador is a two piece outfit. Leave a Comment Theme: Men's Clothes

By our second last day in Morocco, I had run out of clean shirts and we didn't have any time to do more washing so I went searching for clean t-shirts in the medina. Most of what was on sale around Djemaa el-Fna was tacky and overpriced. I offered 25 Dh maximum, while they were all asking for 60 or even 70. Some sellers were prepared to offer 40 but no lower. I figured we'd have a better chance of finding something away from all the tourists but they were difficult to escape from.
Later, I was proved right, as we picked up a nice t-shirt on the northern outskirts of the medina. This was at Souk el Khemis - Gate of the Thursday market - which, despite its name, has a small market everyday. Very few tourists venture out this far and hence it was much better value. I was pretty pleased that I got it for 20Dh, 5Dh less than budgeted. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Souk el KhemisDirections: North of the medina, just beyond Bab el Khemis
