Marrakech - Shopping for Moroccan Rugs (& buying one!) 

THIS VIDEO WAS FILMED IN NOVEMBER 2022. I was back home in the UK when the earthquake hit Morocco - Andy and I are safe and sound and our thoughts are with those who have been affected by it.
In search of the perfect Moroccan rug, we embarked on an exciting rug shopping adventure during our trip to Morocco. We were eager to learn the ins and outs of buying a Moroccan rug, so we documented our experience to share what we hope will be valuable tips and insights with anyone interested!
Marrakech was our chosen destination for rug shopping, as it marked the final leg of our two-week Intrepid Travel tour across Northern Morocco. We opted to go shopping for Moroccan Rugs without a guide allowing us to negotiate prices without any commission involved. Marrakech boasts a wide array of rug shops, and the overall experience and presentation of carpets are likely to be similar across different establishments.
Join us as we try to demystify the process of buying a Moroccan rug, providing practical advice and sharing our personal encounters with rug sellers. Whether you're a seasoned rug connoisseur or a first-time buyer, this video will hopefully equip you with the knowledge you need to make an informed purchase.
