A neat day for a visitor is to spend it in the souk and emerge from it as the sun begins setting in the square. It helps to have some bargaining experience. You will eventually settle for a price somewhere in the middle between yours and the vendor's. The souk and its very narrow alleys are crowded and you'll be jostled, but it's safe even without a guide. But Morocco is safe.
Moroccan prices are low.
Costlier, of course, is the famous La Mamounia, where Winston Churchill was a regular guest. One great experience in Marrakech included dinner in a sumptuous tent at Borj Bladi with musicians, singers, dancers and a Moroccan horsemanship show. It's a good deal for 350 dirhams, as the Moroccan currency is called. 1800 Ave., McGill College, Ste. 2450, Montreal, Que., H3A 3J6.
