To be a haggling ace in the Marrakech souk you also need to <strong>understand how the artisans set their prices!<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the Marrakech souk, the price the shopkeeper quotes is often to be <strong>divided by two, sometimes even by three.<\/strong> (just that!) Wait until the last moment to name your price, and first ask the shopkeeper to name theirs. Then you can do the math in your head (no, don't pull out your calculator) to get an idea of the price you want to end up with. And <strong>ask them to lower theirs first<\/strong> (several times if possible), because once you've named your price, the negotiation starts and the goal will be to reach a compromise \"halfway,\" so <strong>the lower you start, the better!<\/strong> Buying several items in the Marrakech souk is also a good argument: it's good for your seller, so bring it up in the negotiation.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A tip: get the price of a single item down as far as you can, then announce that you'll take several to <strong>get an extra discount.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section

If you're dealing with an artisan (not a reseller) in a spot far from the Marrakech souk where there aren't many tourists, chances are the quoted price is fair from the start: if the price seems right to you, and\/or the person seems uncomfortable with an attempt to haggle, then there's no need to negotiate!<\/p><p>Because the main difficulty of this exercise, we're well aware, is that we have no idea of Moroccan prices, and without a reference point it's very easy to get fooled, here are s<strong>ome examples of fair prices you can get in the Marrakech medina<\/strong> (these aren't the Moroccan prices, because let's not kid ourselves, we will NEVER get the Moroccan prices hehe, but they're fair prices):<\/p><ul><li>Food-grade argan oil, 100ml: 70 dhs<\/li><li>Cosmetic argan oil, 50ml: 50 dhs<\/li><li>Painted ceramic plate, 25 cm: 50 dhs<\/li><li>Ashtray: 50 dhs<\/li><li>Metal lantern: from 200 dhs<\/li><li>Classic djellaba: between 120 and 400 dhs depending on quality<\/li><li>Pair of babouches: from 120 dhs<\/li><li>Cushion cover, 45\u00d745 cm: about 100 dhs<\/li><li>Boucharouite rug, 180 x 120 cm: between 600 and 800 dhs<\/li><li>Wool rug, 180 x 120 cm: between 1000 and 1200 dhs<\/li><li>Saffron: between 150 and 300 dhs for 1 gram of quality saffron<\/li><li>Ras el Hanout: about 50 dhs for 100 grams<\/li><li>\u00a0Cumin: about 30 dhs for 100 grams<\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If it doesn't work out, no problem, you can't win every time<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">!<strong> Pretend to leave<\/strong> (or really leave) and the shopkeeper will very likely call you back so as not to lose you!
