Hi, we have just arrived in Meknes and hoping to go to the Berber market tomorrow, but the owner of the riad we are staying at says he doesn’t know if it is on or not! We also asked another local, but they also said they don’t know. Perhaps because they are not Berber? With Ramadan starting tomorrow we are a bit worried that it won’t be on but people are also saying all souks stay open during Ramadan so…hoping we run into some luck! Thanks for the post :)

In reply to Jesper, The Biveros Effect. Jesper, It was a lot of fun. I wish we'd had more time. Jim would have gotten a haircut. LOL

Wow, that sounds like an adventure.
Nice to hear that you were able to find a more genuine market, it gives some hope to the rest of us when we are out travelling. :)

In reply to Anda. Anda, I'm fascinated that the old is always clashing with the new! The Berber market was mostly the way it's been for centuries, but they also sold electronics. We loved every minute of it!

In reply to budget jan. Jan, That's why we like to drive ourselves. No one except us decide on where we are going.

In reply to Jim Vail. I am interested that you have experienced it as well. What really annoyed me was that the other Prado 4WD in our group had a Berber driver and they went to the market and were even taken to the driver's home to meet his family and have a meal, while we were taken to a shop!

In reply to Paula McInerney. Thank you Paula! We almost always will stop for anything that even looks like it could be a market.

In reply to Shobha. Hi Shobha, We love to drive ourselves as much as possible. That way we have the freedom to stop and explore whenever we want.

In reply to Elaine J. Masters. Hi Elaine, it did go much better. After finding the clutch pedal pushed all the way in the night we arrived in Azrou, I found that I could easily pull it back out while I was driving by hooking my foot behind the pedal and pulling it out. A little strange, but it worked and we never had any other car problems!
