  Wherever you walk in the souk you hear stories. Everything from the traditional yellow babouche slippers to the filigreed brass lamps tells a tale. Marrakech is a place where both craftsmanship and salesmanship are story-filled art forms and prices are just a place to start the conversation. As tea is poured and prices are debated, smiles lengthen as customers and merchants haggle good-naturedly to find the perfect ending.
