Price Check: a Marrakech shopping list

In destinations such as Marrakech or Essaouira, it’s much more fun to head to the local markets to do your shopping, rather than a supermarket. However, unless you have a local to take you shopping the first time, we suggest you head to a supermarket with fixed prices first to get an idea as to what things cost – otherwise, you’ll probably end up paying ‘tourist prices’ for your Marrakech shopping list in the markets.

Price Check is a series of posts from every destination we visit where we settle in for a while, that could serve as a shopping list for you to stock the kitchen at the start of your stay, as well as a cost of living index, giving you an idea as to what things cost in that place. We include some basic items to get you started, plus a local specialty or two from the place.
