The fixed price shops are a good place to shop if you get tired of the constant attention and hassle from the vendors in the other shops. Prices are relatively high in the fixed shops - you could probably get a better deal by bargaining hard at other shops. However, you can at least browse in peace and you do get an idea of the fair prices.

Houmt Souk has no shortage of shops. Unfortunately most of the sell the same old souvenirs and it can be a frustrating experience visiting the shops without being subject to hassle and attention from the shopkeepers. As a tourist you'll have to bargain to get a fair price.
