My biggest culture shock traveling to Morocco was spending time in the medinas, which are the old, medieval streets filled with souks (North African markets). We spent many hours each day wandering through the stalls, looking at the wares and literally getting lost in the explosions of color, sound, smells, texture and energy. The souks consist of tiny little shops, sometimes as small as just a counter that sell fresh produce, meat, clothing, toiletries, cleaning supplies, bread, gyros, olives, touristy trinkets, rugs, fabric, lamps, ceramics and more! Stepping into a Moroccan medina is like taking a time capsule into the Middle Ages where you’re lost in winding streets fighting for road space with people, carts, donkeys and now mopeds. Canvas tarps, laundry, intricate lamps, and construction scaffolding crisscross overhead as we weaved our way through the stalls. The alleys are ridiculously narrow, and I could easily imagine Aladdin leaping across the rooftops escaping the Palace guards.
