Marrakech Souk Prices: How Much Things Really Cost in the Souks?
Every visitor to Marrakech has the same moment. You are standing in a tiny shop in the souks, holding a beautiful brass lantern, and the shopkeeper smiles and says "For you, my friend, special price: 1,200 dirhams." Your brain does three things at once: it converts dirhams to euros, it wonders if 1,200 is a fair price or a fairy tale, and it notices that you have somehow already accepted a glass of mint tea.
This guide is here for exactly that moment. It is written from years of guiding travelers through the souks of Marrakech, watching thousands of negotiations, good and bad. You will find realistic price ranges for everything people buy in the Medina, from babouches to Berber rugs, plus what makes a price go up or down, how to bargain without stress, and how to know whether you are getting a fair deal.

Important: prices checked October 2026. There is no official price list in the souks of Marrakech. The ranges below are practical guidelines for what visitors typically pay after friendly bargaining, not fixed prices. First prices are often much higher, and two items that look the same can have very different fair prices depending on quality.
Quick Price Guide: What Things Cost in the Marrakech Souks
Here is the short version. Typical prices after bargaining, in Moroccan dirhams (MAD):
• Fresh orange juice on Jemaa el-Fnaa: about 5 to 10 dirhams a glass
• Mint tea in a cafe: about 10 to 30 dirhams, depending on the cafe
• Babouches (leather slippers): about 80 to 150 dirhams for simple pairs, 150 to 400 dirhams for high quality
• Small leather wallet or purse: about 100 to 200 dirhams
• Medium leather bag: from about 500 dirhams, more for top quality leather
• Leather pouf (unstuffed): about 150 to 300 dirhams
• Leather jacket: about 1,300 to 2,500 dirhams
• Small aluminium lantern: around 100 dirhams
• Brass lantern: about 300 dirhams for small pieces, up to 1,000 to 2,000 dirhams for large ones
• Decorated teapot: about 100 to 300 dirhams
• Simple unglazed tagine: about 30 to 50 dirhams
• Ras el hanout spice blend: about 50 to 80 dirhams per 100 grams
• Cosmetic argan oil: about 60 to 100 dirhams for 30 ml, 180 to 280 dirhams for 100 ml
• Scarf: about 50 to 100 dirhams
• Simple kaftan or djellaba: from about 150 dirhams, much more for handmade or embroidered pieces
• Engraved silver-style bracelet: around 100 dirhams
• Handmade wool rug: often around 700 to 1,500 dirhams per square metre for new wool rugs, much more for vintage or exceptional pieces
Keep reading for the details on each item, because the "why" behind a price matters just as much as the number.
How Prices Work in the Marrakech Souks
In most of the souks, nothing has a price tag. The price is a conversation.
• The first price is an opening move. Sellers often start at two to three times what they will actually accept, especially for leather, rugs and silver.
• Tourists get quoted more. It is not personal. A seller quickly guesses where you are from, how long you have been in Marrakech and how much you might pay.
• Quality is rarely explained unless you ask. Two bags hanging side by side can be very different leather at very different prices.
• Some shops do have fixed prices. You will see "fixed price" signs in some boutiques, and in those shops bargaining is not expected.
The goal is not to "beat" the seller. The goal is a fair price for the quality, one that makes you happy when you leave and still lets the artisan earn a living.
What Makes a Price Go Up or Down
The same item can legitimately cost very different amounts. Here is what moves the price:
• Material: real leather vs. imitation, wool vs. synthetic, solid brass vs. thin metal, sterling silver vs. plated metal
• Handmade vs. machine made: a handmade piece can represent days or weeks of work
• Size and weight: bigger rugs, heavier lanterns and larger poufs cost more
• Finish and detail: embroidery, hand-chiselled patterns, natural dyes and fine stitching all add value
• Age: genuinely vintage rugs and antiques can cost far more than new pieces
• Location in the souks: shops on the busiest streets, like Souk Semmarine, often start higher than workshops in the side souks
• Time of day and season: early mornings and quieter seasons can make sellers more flexible
• You: how interested you look, how much you know, and how relaxed you are when you negotiate
Dirhams, Exchange Rates and Quick Conversions
Prices in the souks are in Moroccan dirhams (MAD). Based on exchange rates in 2026:
• 1 euro is roughly 10.6 to 10.7 dirhams
• 100 dirhams is roughly 9.40 euros, 8 British pounds or 10.80 US dollars
• 500 dirhams is roughly 47 euros, 40 pounds or 54 dollars
• 1,000 dirhams is roughly 94 euros, 80 pounds or 108 dollars
Rates move, so check a live converter before your trip. An easy mental shortcut: 10 dirhams is a little less than 1 euro.
The ryal trick: some older sellers count prices in ryals, an old unit still used in daily life. One dirham equals 20 ryals, so "a thousand" might mean 1,000 ryals, which is only 50 dirhams. If a number sounds strange, simply ask: "dirham?"
What Can You Buy with 100, 500, 1,000 or 5,000 Dirhams?
A budget is often easier to think about than a price list. Roughly:
• With 100 dirhams: a bag of spices, a small aluminium lantern, a scarf, a simple pair of babouches with good bargaining, a small leather wallet, or a few orange juices and a mint tea
• With 500 dirhams: a good pair of babouches plus a leather pouf, a medium brass lantern, a decorated teapot with glasses, a nice blanket, or quality argan oil and beauty products for gifts
• With 1,000 dirhams: a medium leather bag, a large brass lantern, a quality kaftan, a set of painted ceramics, or a small handmade rug or kilim
• With 5,000 dirhams: a leather jacket and several gifts, or a medium-sized handmade wool rug of good quality
These are realistic starting points. The right question is not "which famous item can I get for my budget?" but "what size and quality can I get for my budget?"
How Much Should I Pay for a Moroccan Rug in Marrakech?
Rugs are the biggest purchase most visitors make in the souks, and the one where prices vary the most. There is no single Marrakech rug price: two rugs of the same size can have completely different fair prices.
Rug prices by size
For new, handmade wool rugs of good quality, as a rough guide:
• Small (about 1 to 2 square metres): around 1,400 to 2,800 dirhams for a first quality Beni Ourain, less for simpler rugs
• Medium (about 3 to 5 square metres): around 3,700 to 5,600 dirhams for a first quality Beni Ourain
• Large (about 6 to 8 square metres): around 6,500 to 8,500 dirhams for a first quality Beni Ourain, often more
• Price per square metre: many new handmade wool rugs land somewhere around 700 to 1,500 dirhams per square metre
Price per square metre is a useful comparison tool, but it never replaces judging the individual rug. A small vintage rug can cost more than a large new one.
Rug prices by type
• Beni Ourain: thick cream wool with dark geometric lines, from the Middle Atlas. Among the most popular, and the type visitors most often overpay for.
• Azilal: soft wool with colorful, abstract designs. Prices are often similar to Beni Ourain for the same size and quality.
• Boujad: bold, warm colors, often pinks and reds, with abstract patterns.
• Boucherouite: made from recycled fabric strips, colorful and fun. Usually one of the more affordable options.
• Kilim (hanbel): flat woven, light and easy to fold. Generally cheaper than thick pile rugs and much easier to carry home.
• Vintage rugs: decades old, with faded tones. Prices can be much higher, depending on age, condition and rarity.
What changes a rug's price
Wool quality, hand-spun vs. machine-spun wool, knot density, pile height, natural vs. chemical dyes, age, condition, repairs, design complexity and region of origin all matter. That is why one 2 by 3 metre rug can be worth 3,000 dirhams and another 12,000.
How to spot a real handmade rug
• Flip it over. A handmade rug shows its pattern clearly on the back, with visible knots or weave. A plain or latex-covered back usually means machine made.
• Look for small irregularities. Slightly uneven knots are a good sign: they mean human hands.
• Feel the wool. Good wool feels soft and springy, never plastic or shiny.
• Do the tissue test. Rub a damp white tissue on the colors. If dye comes off easily, the colors may run.
• Ask where it comes from. A serious seller can tell you the region, the weaving tradition and roughly how old the rug is.
For a serious rug purchase, our Marrakech Rug Shopping Tour takes you to the carpet souk and explains exactly what you are looking at, so you can judge quality and price with confidence.
How Much Should I Pay for Leather Bags and Leather Goods in Marrakech?
Marrakech is famous for its leather, and the main leather souks (Souk el Kebir and Souk Cherratin) are packed with bags, belts, jackets and poufs.
• Small wallet or purse: about 100 to 200 dirhams
• Medium leather bag: from about 500 dirhams, up to 1,000 dirhams or more for fine leather and careful stitching
• Leather pouf, sold empty: about 150 to 300 dirhams depending on size and leather grade
• Leather jacket: about 1,300 to 2,500 dirhams
How to check quality: real leather has a natural, earthy smell and small marks. If it smells like plastic and looks perfectly uniform, it is probably not real leather. Check the stitching, the lining and the zip. Goat leather is usually the softest and most expensive, cow leather the most economical.
Bargaining tip: buying several leather items in one shop is the easiest way to get a better price on each one.
How Much Should I Pay for Babouches in Marrakech?
Babouches, the traditional pointed leather slippers, are one of the most popular souvenirs in Marrakech. There is even a whole souk dedicated to them.
• Simple leather babouches: about 80 to 150 dirhams
• Good quality handmade babouches: about 150 to 400 dirhams
• Embroidered, decorated or special designs: often at the higher end, or more
How to check quality: look at the sole (stitched is better than just glued), the inside lining and the smell of the leather. Try them on: good babouches mould to your foot over time.
How Much Should I Pay for a Moroccan Lantern?
Pierced metal lanterns are one of the best buys in Marrakech, and you will see thousands of them hanging in the souks.
• Small aluminium or light metal lantern: around 100 dirhams
• Small heavy brass or metal lantern: from about 300 dirhams
• Large, high quality brass lantern: about 1,000 to 2,000 dirhams
How to check quality: pick it up. Heavier usually means thicker, better metal. Look closely at the cut patterns, the joints and the glass. Ask the seller to light it so you can see the pattern it throws on the walls.
Where to look: Souk Haddadine, the blacksmiths' quarter, is where many lanterns are actually made.
How Much Should I Pay for Brass, Teapots and Metalwork?
• Decorated teapot: about 100 to 300 dirhams
• Set of tea glasses: small amounts, depending on the glass quality and decoration
• Brass trays and decorative pieces: wide range, from small trays for a few hundred dirhams to large engraved pieces for much more
Tip: silver-colored teapots are usually silver-plated or nickel silver, not solid silver. That is normal and fine for a souvenir, just do not pay a solid silver price.
How Much Should I Pay for Pottery and Ceramics?
• Simple unglazed tagine (for cooking): about 30 to 50 dirhams
• Painted serving tagine or decorative bowl: often around 100 to 300 dirhams, depending on size and painting
• Large decorated pieces and full sets: several hundred dirhams and up
Bargaining tip: if you want several pieces, agree on the price of the most expensive one first, then negotiate the whole set.
Travel tip: ask the seller to wrap ceramics carefully, and carry them in your hand luggage if you can.
How Much Should I Pay for Spices and Saffron in Marrakech?
The spice stalls of Rahba Kedima and the Attarine area are one of the most colorful parts of the souks.
• Ras el hanout (the famous spice blend): about 50 to 80 dirhams per 100 grams
• Common spices like cumin, paprika or turmeric: usually cheaper than ras el hanout
• Saffron: sold by the gram. Real saffron is never cheap. If it costs less than about 10 dirhams a gram, be suspicious.
How to check quality: smell it. Good spices have a strong, fresh aroma. For saffron, real threads release color slowly in water and keep their shape.
Tip: spices are sold by weight, so prices are more stable than for crafts, but it is still worth comparing two or three stalls.
How Much Should I Pay for Argan Oil and Beauty Products?
Argan oil comes from the south of Morocco and is one of the most popular gifts. It is also one of the most faked.
• Cosmetic argan oil, 30 ml: about 60 to 100 dirhams
• Cosmetic argan oil, 100 ml: about 180 to 280 dirhams
• Culinary argan oil, 100 ml: about 80 to 150 dirhams
• Culinary argan oil, 250 ml: about 150 to 220 dirhams
• Amlou (argan, almond and honey spread): around 80 dirhams for 250 grams
• Black soap (savon beldi): small amounts, around 20 dirhams for a pot
The rule: real argan oil cannot be cheap, because it takes hours of work to produce. If a big bottle costs almost nothing, it is probably mixed with other oils. Look for dark glass bottles, a label with a cooperative name, and a light, nutty smell.
How Much Should I Pay for Blankets, Throws and Scarves?
• Scarf: about 50 to 100 dirhams, less if you buy several
• Medium blanket or throw: often around 200 to 500 dirhams, depending on size and material
• Large hand woven or wool blankets: more, especially for fine handwork
Tip: ask whether it is cotton, wool, silk or synthetic. "Silk" in the souks is often cactus silk or synthetic. That is fine, as long as the price matches what it really is.
How Much Should I Pay for a Djellaba or Kaftan?
• Simple cotton kaftan or djellaba: from about 150 dirhams
• Good quality kaftan with embroidery: several hundred dirhams
• Handmade, finely embroidered or special-occasion pieces: can reach 1,000 dirhams and much more
Where to look: the middle of Souk Semmarine has some of the finer clothing shops in the souks, and the kissarias near Souk el Kebir are popular with local shoppers.
How Much Should I Pay for Jewelry in Marrakech?
• Simple engraved bracelet: around 100 dirhams
• Berber-style silver jewelry: wide range depending on weight, design and real silver content
How to check quality: look for the 925 stamp, which means sterling silver (92.5 percent silver). Some pieces sold as silver contain a lot of other metal. Not every seller prices by weight, so compare a few shops before buying an expensive piece. Jewelry has its own souk, the Souk des Bijoutiers.
How Much Should I Pay for Baskets and Small Souvenirs?
• Large woven basket or bag: around 100 dirhams
• Small drum or simple musical instrument: around 100 dirhams
• Magnets, keyrings, small boxes and trinkets: small amounts, ideal for bargaining in bulk
Tip: small souvenirs are where buying in bulk works best. Five of the same item will always get a better price per piece than one.
Everyday Prices in the Medina
Shopping is not the only thing that costs money in the Medina. Typical everyday prices:
• Fresh orange juice on Jemaa el-Fnaa: about 5 to 10 dirhams a glass. Agree on the price before they pour.
• Mint tea: about 10 to 30 dirhams in cafes, more on fancy rooftops
• Harira soup at the evening food stalls: about 10 to 15 dirhams
• Snail soup on Jemaa el-Fnaa: about 10 to 20 dirhams
• Taxi within the city: often 15 to 20 dirhams with the meter on
• Taxi from the airport to the Medina: often around 100 to 150 dirhams, agree on the fare first
• Monuments and museums: often around 50 to 70 dirhams each (the Ben Youssef Madrasa is around 50 dirhams)
• Tips in restaurants: around 10 percent is common
Tip: carry small notes and coins. Street food and juice stalls rarely have change for a 200 dirham note, and "no change" has a funny way of turning into a bigger price.
Ensemble Artisanal: Use Fixed Prices as Your Benchmark
Our favorite tip for first-time shoppers: before you start bargaining, visit the Ensemble Artisanal on Avenue Mohammed V, a few minutes' walk from the Koutoubia Mosque. It is a government-run crafts complex with dozens of shops and workshops selling babouches, lanterns, leather, jewelry, rugs and more, all with fixed prices and no pressure.
Prices there are usually a little higher than what a good negotiator pays in the souks. That makes them the perfect benchmark. Note the price of what you like, then head into the souks knowing what a fair deal looks like. Many visitors aim to pay around a quarter less in the souks than the Ensemble Artisanal price.
A higher price does not always mean higher quality, and a fixed price is not automatically a better deal. But it gives you a reference point, and that is half the battle.
Opening Price vs. Final Price: What to Expect
This is the question every visitor asks:
How far can the price really come down?
• First prices are often two to three times the final price, especially for leather, rugs and silver jewelry.
• Small, cheap items move less. A seller asking 60 dirhams for a scarf may settle at 40 or 50, not 15.
• Rules like "always offer a third" or "divide by four" are too simple. Sometimes the first price is already close to fair, and an insulting offer just ends the conversation.
• Quality items move less than mass-produced ones. Fine handmade pieces have less margin to cut.
The smartest approach is to know roughly what the item is worth before you make an offer. That is exactly why price guides and the Ensemble Artisanal benchmark are so useful.
How to Bargain for a Fair Price
Bargaining in Marrakech is normal, expected and, done well, genuinely fun.
1. Greet first. "Salam alaikum" or "bonjour" before asking the price changes the whole tone.
2. Decide your maximum before you ask. Know what the item is worth to you.
3. Only ask the price if you are interested. Asking opens a negotiation.
4. Let the seller make the first offer.
5. Counter calmly, below what you are willing to pay, and move up slowly.
6. Stay relaxed and smile. Pressure and anger never get good prices.
7. Buy several items in one shop for a better overall deal.
8. Walk away politely if the price is not right. Sometimes you will be called back.
9. Once you agree a price, buy. Agreeing and then changing your mind is considered bad manners.
Useful Darija words: "bshhal?" (how much?), "ghali bzaf!" (too expensive!), "nqess shwiya" (lower it a little), "akhir taman?" (last price?) and "la, shukran" (no, thank you).
For more about the main shopping street, see our Souk Semmarine guide.
Is This a Good Deal?
Real-Life Scenarios
Prices only make sense with context. Here is how to think through common situations:
• "He asks 1,200 dirhams for a brass lantern." Is it large, heavy and finely cut? Then a final price somewhere around 600 to 1,000 dirhams can be fair. Is it small and light? Then 1,200 is far too high, even as an opening price.
• "She wants 300 dirhams for babouches." Check the sole, the stitching and the leather. For simple babouches, aim much lower. For beautifully handmade ones, 200 to 300 dirhams can be reasonable.
• "A big bottle of argan oil for 50 dirhams." That is not a bargain, it is a warning sign. Real argan oil cannot be that cheap.
• "8,000 dirhams for a 2 by 3 metre rug." You cannot judge from the price alone. Is it handmade? Real wool? New or vintage? What condition? A fine hand-knotted wool rug can be worth it, a machine-made copy never is.
• "1,500 dirhams for a 2 by 3 metre rug." Maybe a bargain, maybe a completely different product. Flip it over and check the back before getting excited.
The lesson: do not ask "is this price cheap?" Ask "is this price right for this quality?"
Questions to Ask the Seller Before You Buy
• What is it made of?
• Is it handmade or machine made?
• Where was it made, and by whom?
• How old is it? (for rugs and antiques)
• Has it been repaired or washed? (for rugs)
• Is the price in dirhams?
• Does the price include wrapping or shipping?
A seller who answers clearly and patiently is usually a seller worth buying from.
Are Prices Cheaper on Souk Semmarine or in the Side Souks?
Souk Semmarine is the main artery of the souks, and its shops pay higher rents and see the most tourists. As a result, opening prices there are often higher than in the specialized side souks.
In the side souks, many sellers are also the makers, or work directly with them. You can see lanterns being made in Souk Haddadine, wool being dyed in the Dyers' Souk, and leather being worked near Souk Cherratin. That often means better prices and a clearer idea of quality.
Our advice: use Souk Semmarine to look and compare, then buy in the side souks. Our Souk Semmarine guide shows you how the main street connects to all of them.
Cash or Card: How to Pay in the Souks
• Cash is king. Most souk purchases are paid in dirhams, cash.
• Some larger shops accept cards, especially for rugs and expensive items.
• If you pay by card, choose to pay in dirhams, not your home currency, for a better exchange rate.
• Carry small notes. Paying 40 dirhams with a 200 note weakens your bargaining position.
• ATMs are easy to find around Jemaa el-Fnaa and the edges of the Medina.
The Total Cost: Shipping, Packaging and Customs
A great price can turn into an expensive surprise if you forget the extras.
• Shipping: many rug and craft shops offer international shipping, often with express couriers like DHL or FedEx. Costs depend on weight, size and destination, so always ask for the shipping cost before you agree on the final price.
• Receipts: get a written receipt with the description, size, price and shipping cost, take photos of what you bought, and keep the seller's contact details.
• Carrying it yourself: kilims and smaller rugs fold or roll surprisingly small. A thick Beni Ourain does not. Check your airline's baggage allowance before you buy something big.
• Customs back home: most countries have a duty-free allowance for goods bought abroad. Above that amount, you may have to pay import tax. Check your own country's rules before buying expensive items like rugs.
Always negotiate the total price: item, packaging and delivery together.
How Much Does a Guided Souk Tour Cost in Marrakech?
Since you are planning your budget, here is what our tours cost. Prices depend on the tour and the size of your group, so treat these as a guide:
• Small group tour: about 250 dirhams per person (roughly 24 euros), for groups of up to 5 or 6 people
• Private tour for a family or your own group: from 900 dirhams (roughly 85 euros), depending on the number of people
This applies to our souk shopping, rug shopping and Medina walking tours. Hotel or riad pickup can be arranged, and for last minute plans, a guide can join you in the Medina within an hour. For an exact price for your group and dates, just send us a message on WhatsApp.
Think of it this way: a guide who helps you pay a fair price on a rug, a lantern or a leather bag can easily save you more than the cost of the tour.
How a Local Guide Helps You Pay Fair Prices
You can absolutely shop in the souks on your own. A local guide simply makes it easier:
• Knowing what things are really worth, so you can judge whether a price is fair
• Checking quality with you: real leather, good wool, real argan oil, sterling silver
• Helping with bargaining, in the local way, calmly and politely
• Taking you beyond the main streets into the workshops and specialized souks most visitors miss
• No pressure to buy: you shop only if you want to
Over the years, we have noticed that most of our guests like to take their time: they ask lots of questions, compare, and often come back to buy at the end of their stay. That is exactly how we like to work too.
Visit Marrakech Medina is an independent local guide service. We can meet you at your hotel or riad anywhere in Marrakech, and for last minute plans, a guide can join you in the Medina within an hour.

Frequently Asked Questions About Marrakech Souk Prices
How much money should I bring for shopping in Marrakech?
It depends on what you want to buy. For small souvenirs and gifts, a few hundred dirhams goes a long way. For leather goods or lanterns, plan 500 to 2,000 dirhams. For a handmade rug, budget several thousand dirhams. Bring a mix of cash and a card.
Is Marrakech cheap for shopping?
Compared to buying the same handmade items in Europe or North America, yes, often much cheaper. But first prices in the souks can be high, so knowing realistic prices makes a big difference.
Is 1,000 dirhams a fair price for a rug?
For a small kilim or boucherouite, it can be. For a large handmade wool rug, 1,000 dirhams would be suspiciously low. The size, material and whether it is handmade decide what is fair.
How much does a Moroccan rug cost in Marrakech?
New handmade wool rugs often cost around 700 to 1,500 dirhams per square metre. A first quality medium Beni Ourain is often around 3,700 to 5,600 dirhams, while vintage and exceptional rugs cost more.
How much are babouches in Marrakech?
Simple pairs cost around 80 to 150 dirhams, and good quality handmade babouches around 150 to 400 dirhams.
How much is a leather bag in Marrakech?
A medium leather bag usually starts around 500 dirhams, with fine leather and careful stitching costing more.
How much is argan oil in Marrakech?
Genuine cosmetic argan oil costs about 60 to 100 dirhams for 30 ml, and 180 to 280 dirhams for 100 ml. Very cheap argan oil is usually not pure.
What is a good first counter-offer?
There is no fixed rule. Know roughly what the item is worth, then counter a little below what you are willing to pay. Insulting offers usually end the conversation.
Is it rude to bargain in Marrakech?
No. Bargaining is normal and expected in the souks. What is rude is being aggressive, or agreeing on a price and then refusing to buy.
Can I pay in euros in the souks?
Some sellers accept euros, but the exchange rate they use is rarely in your favor. Paying in dirhams is almost always better.
Are prices higher in high season?
Often, yes. When the souks are busy, sellers have less reason to drop their prices. Early mornings and quieter seasons can be better for bargaining.
Are fixed-price shops more expensive?
Usually a little, but they are hassle-free and useful as a benchmark. The Ensemble Artisanal is the best-known fixed-price option.
Can shops in Marrakech ship to the UK or the US?
Many rug and craft shops offer international shipping. Agree on the shipping cost before the final price, and get a written receipt.
How much is mint tea in Marrakech?
Usually about 10 to 30 dirhams in a cafe, more on upscale rooftops.
How much is orange juice on Jemaa el-Fnaa?
About 5 to 10 dirhams a glass. Agree on the price before they pour.
How much is a taxi in Marrakech?
Short rides in the city often cost 15 to 20 dirhams with the meter on. From the airport to the Medina, expect around 100 to 150 dirhams. Always agree on the fare or ask for the meter.
Are price tags in the souks real?
In fixed-price shops, yes. In the traditional souks, most items have no price tag at all, and the price is agreed through bargaining.
How can I tell if I am overpaying?
Compare the same item in two or three shops, check the Ensemble Artisanal price, and ask about the material. If a seller will not explain what you are buying, be careful.
How much does a souk tour with a local guide cost in Marrakech?
