“Horrible experience. Sellers lie (they are berbers coming to town once per month) - however they are there every day ripping off tourists. They act friendly, engage with you, show you around and then getting commission from the other sellers after your purchase. We found ourselves in the dyers market guided by a ‘friendly local’, there they showed us around that all of that is handmade and they do the dying there, they put cheap scarfs on you and then say an unrealistic price to sell their chinese scrap. When you negotiate they insist and show pictures of their kids that they need money. We ended up buying 3 cheap scarfs for 100€ just to realised later what happened there. Honestly horrible experience. Do not ask any direction from locals, do not let nobody take your phone to make a photo of you. In general do not engage with anybody as all of them are pro scammers.”

“Everywhere I saw water for local cats. That's why I am giving it 5 stars🤝🏼”

“Wonderful time with my wife and children.”

“No real dyeing taking place - it’s all rather a con these days with traders taking any opportunity to tie scarves around your neck in an effort to making you buy. Don’t get conned into paying to take pictures of the dyed skeins of wool - just take the photos.”

“We were helped by the most brilliant guide who was courteous and kind. I’m sure he took us to members of his family (!) but the scarf stall and apothecary were so interesting and no one pressured us at all.”

“Just be careful while shopping madina is a place of bargain. Always remember being a tourist you have every right to reject and bargain. People just grab you and try to take you in control you have to stop them and make it clear you are in control not them.”
