Overview

Every week, a market (or souk) is held in various locations across each Province—similar to a State in the US or a county in the UK. These souks typically occur in larger towns or villages that serve as central hubs for the surrounding rural communities and local farms. The weekly market is deeply rooted in local traditions, to the point that many towns incorporate the day of their souk into their names. For example, if you look at a map of Morocco, any town with “el had” in its name hosts its weekly souk on a Sunday, while “khamiss” indicates that the market takes place on a Thursday.

    Souks are a regular and weekly occurrence all around Morocco. Literally a marketplace or designated space for market trading and the sale of produce, goods and livestock. As a visitor to Morocco a visit to any regional market is a unique way to gain insight into the day-to-day life and rural culture of Morocco.
    Souks like Souihla, Sebt Ben sassi or Tahnaout are particularly large and bustling with an incredible sensation of colour, aromas and sounds. And if it is your first experience of a market in Morocco then the souk in the outskirts of Marrakesh are a great choice as the region is a popular destination and provides a typical and traditional insight without need for straying too far off the beaten track. A win-win as far as any Moroccan market experience!
