Scams to avoid in Marrakech!

1. Taxis - always negotiate the price before you get in, by like 40 to 50% what they actually say the price is. And have small bills because the other scam is pretending not to have change!
2. Any vendor or performer w animals is going to try to grab your attention, get you to watch a little show, then demand a tip later. If you want the pics with their animals go for it, but of you don't want to tip them or don't care keep it moving.
3. When you're shopping it's very common for a vendor to offer you tea - this is legit hospitality not a scam and no pressure!
4. The best quality spices will be kept covered and away from sunlight. Anything outside makes for great photos but will be bad quality.
5. Always ask before taking pictures of someone's store, work or animals! This guy was driving the wagon and we wanted photos so he hopped off and let us (without demanding a tip 🤣) but always be polite and try to get permission

save for your trip to Marrakech!
