Coming from travel, you always want to bring something to remember, something special that will remind you of the trip.
The most useful, highest quality souvenir that can be brought from Marrakech is argan oil. It is better to buy oil directly in production (also called a "women's" cooperative) or in stores that belong to them. Very poor quality oil is often found on the market.
Pay attention to natural cosmetics, by the way, lipstick has already been demonstrated several times in Eagle and Tails. It is difficult to say how much this, of course, natural cosmetics will suit everyone, how useful it will be and will not cause allergies, but if you are an adherent of everything natural and organic, then pamper yourself with shopping. 4 days tour from Marrakech to Fes
It would be a big mistake not to buy spices in Marrakech. It is clear that they are now being sold in Russia in large quantities and variety. But in Marrakech they are very high quality and fresh.
Leather goods: belts, bags, small suitcases, poufs. When choosing, it is worth sniffing the product you like, a sharp unpleasant smell should not come from it, it is also worth rubbing the desired purchase with a white wet cloth to make sure that the paint does not fade and will not stain clothes when worn.
Take a closer look at Moroccan leather mules, called grandmothers. Their shape resembles running shoes from V. Hauff's fairy tale "Little Torment", but they are not intended for long-distance running, but for comfortable and imposing doing nothing at home.
And for home and office sweet tooth, you can bring hand-made Moroccan cookies. Buy a ready-made box with a set, or buy by weight the one that you like very much. There are two types of cookies: made from shortcrust pastry and filled with almond paste, which is saturated with the sweet essence of orange blossom. There is no one indifferent to this delicacy.

Safety in Marrakech
Marrakech is a fairly safe city; police squads are constantly on duty here. But one should not forget about elementary caution.
So, what to look for:
Morocco is a Muslim country, therefore, women are better off to observe modesty in their clothes: do not wear short shorts and skirts, do not bare their shoulders and arms. And it is better if the woman is accompanied by a man.
Pickpockets - this is one of the primary problems in Marrakech, keep an eye on your personal belongings, keep everything of value in the safe in the hotel, close the windows.
Local motorists, like pedestrians, do not follow traffic rules. If you decide to rent a car, remember that locals cross the road where it is convenient for them. Pedestrians, in turn, are better off walking exclusively on sidewalks, and when crossing the carriageway, be very careful.
Pay only in national currency. Always have small bills, because a seller in the market or a small private shop may not have change. 4 days desert tour from Marrakech
Beggars are another problem that a tourist in Marrakech may face. It is better not to pay attention to them and not to give money, otherwise you will be pursued by a company of beggars all the way.
But, believe me, Marrakech is exactly the city that everyone should visit at least once.
