About Souks de Marrakech

Les souks de Marrakech forment un réseau dense de marchés couverts au cœur de la Médina, la vieille ville historique. Ce bazar labyrinthique est actif depuis des siècles : chaque ruelle y est dédiée à un artisanat précis — maroquinerie, ferronnerie, épices ou tissus. Situés juste au nord de la place Jemaa el-Fnaa, ils sont accessibles par les artères principales que sont la rue Semarine et le Souk el-Kebir. Les commerçants ouvrent le matin et ferment en soirée ; de nombreuses échoppes baissent également le rideau le vendredi à l'heure de la prière.
