Tangier, like any other city in Morocco, has been famous for its wonderful souks. The largest and most popular market of this major port city is the "Grand Socco". It is located in the central part of the Medina, near the famous mosque of Sidi Bou Abib with splendid pointed minarets.

Grand Bazaar - the most bustling and noisy place in Tangier. Every trader, trying to drown his neighbor trade, invites to go to his shop or cafe, slipping under the nose of tourists from different copper utensils and other souvenirs. Across the market spread of oriental drum sounds noisy, smells of red pepper and delicious grilled meat.

The main thing - do not get lost among all this, and to closely monitor the purse and pre-determine the choice of product you want to buy in the Grand Bazaar in Tangier. All persistent sentences like "buy this lucky stone to the holy mountain" is better to reject at once, such as stones on the beach a few billion. Local residents, unlike the Egyptians, understands the word "do not" and "no." If you have already chosen your product and you can bargain, Moroccans - polite people, they are always making concessions to their customers. The lack of local currency - not an obstacle here gladly accept both euros and dollars. It should also be noted that no such thing as a "surrender" in the markets of Tangier simply does not exist.

At the bazaar, "Grand Socco" you can buy many interesting traditional souvenirs: gold jewelry, silverware, lamps of colored glass and copper, copper and clay utensils with national paintings, woolen and silk blankets and carpets, as well as gorgeous leather: traditional shoes embroidered with silver and gold threads, camel hair jackets, bags and belts.

In addition to the luxurious selection of goods on the "Grand Socco" you can see the amazing performances of snake charmers, street dancers, magicians and fakirs.
