The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Last Word on Travel: Marrakech, Morocco

But otherwise, you know, through the souks and everything, we just found them really, really friendly, lovely people.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper

Yeah, and they will take euros in some of them, cash, but mostly, well, you need to have, you definitely need to have the currency anyway.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Last Word on Travel: Marrakech, Morocco

It's dirhams and you can only get it when you land.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Last Word on Travel: Marrakech, Morocco

It's a closed currency.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Last Word on Travel: Marrakech, Morocco

So I would say definitely change the money at the airport when you land because there are big queues for the ATMs in the centre and it's good just to have the cash with you.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Last Word on Travel: Marrakech, Morocco

Most places will let you tap or take card, but cash is definitely worth having some cash on you, absolutely.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper

Oh, we might have come home with a few of those.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper

All right, the kids were having a great time with their designer t-shirts, shall we say.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Last Word on Travel: Marrakech, Morocco

Yeah, to be honest, the souks, I was really surprised at...

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Last Word on Travel: Marrakech, Morocco

The quality, actually, like we ended up coming back three and four times shopping in the souks.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Last Word on Travel: Marrakech, Morocco

It was really good.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Last Word on Travel: Marrakech, Morocco

Great fun, too.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Last Word on Travel: Marrakech, Morocco

The haggling was good.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Last Word on Travel: Marrakech, Morocco

They were very nice.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Last Word on Travel: Marrakech, Morocco

If you didn't want something, you just said, no, thank you.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Last Word on Travel: Marrakech, Morocco

There was no hassling, nothing like that, which I kind of had expected.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Last Word on Travel: Marrakech, Morocco

But the quality, like the handmade leather, the goods, the spices, the argan oil.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Last Word on Travel: Marrakech, Morocco

I got gorgeous cushion covers for the garden and just different pieces, but all really, really nice.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Last Word on Travel: Marrakech, Morocco

And then, of course, they have all the fake designer goods and that if you want any of those as well.

The Last Word with Matt Cooper
The Last Word on Travel: Marrakech, Morocco

But there's everything literally from spices to ceramics to leather to lanterns.
