Souk near our riad

This was the souk just around the corner from our riad. It was located in a pretty traditional neighborhood. When we arrived in Marrakech and were going to the riad, Rostom, our driver, drove right into this souk, which was packed with people at 6 p.m., with his SUV so Tim could more easily get to the front door. Quite frankly, I couldn't even imagine how he was going to turn around in there to get out, but somehow he did.

Absolutely fascinating. I am always drawn to such places, but driving? I can't imagine either how your driver did it! V

makes it seem such a shame we have put our street markets in neat rows and most of the produce in wasteful packaging
