Communication
Basically every price is negotiable. It depends on what options and time you give the seller.
First you will be confronted with this situation at the airport.
Generally merchands, artists and craftsmen will try till the very last second to make you buy their products.
Whenever you are being hasselt too much simply say „Shoukran La“ which means „no thanks“.
Also look them in the eyes and show them respectfully you are not interested in buying anything.
However besides the chaotical way of shopping the Moroccan life style is an incredibly interesting
one and its people also have unknown stories to tell.
Drinking alcohol in public is only allowed where it is sold.
Therefore walking in the streets with a bottle of wine or beer is prohibited in these areas.
Visitors should respect the culture of Morocco as there is a focus on what people (especially women) wear.
So try and do not show too much skin but wear light but long clothes.
