My Morocco!

Spices, herbs and natural plant-based remedies are all sold in the same places. Our tour guide made a stop at this pharmacy for an introduction to Moroccan remedies and of course, buy their bullshit.

They put us in a private room. Invite you to try a sample of their herbal rub as administered by one of their clinicians. You'd say yes. They'd rub it on your shoulders and then say 3 euro please.



There were a throng of fellow sucker tourists there. It was really funny. We just smiled. Bought a few of their potions and lotions. And totally felt raped and ridiculous afterwards.

I gently scolded our private guide for throwing us to the wolves.



We preferred to buy our spices from the street vendors.

The guide gets a cut from the shops where you buy things.
