Although many tourist traps do exist selling low quality goods, if you're prepared to get off the beaten track you'll find a wealth of fine crafts. Tangiers is a great place for bargains in copper, leather and carpets. You'll also find some wonderful carved cedarwood pots, boxes along with plenty of other items that will beg you to part with your money.

If you're here on a day trip and don't have time to see everything, just go shopping! You can bring some of this fascinating culture back home with you. Shopping in Tangiers can be a very entertaining experience, quite different to anywhere else in Europe.

There are literally hundreds of hole-in-the-wall shops and stalls to choose from, as well as many "proper" shops too. Shop owners will be only too happy to take your money. It can be quite intense; you'll constantly be offered mint tea and cut price goods, but that's all part of the fun!
