PLEASE NOTE:
Rabat shop keeper recommendation: I was able to negotiate an excellent price for a tea set and wood carving at Number 105 Souk Sebbat.  The shop is called Bazar Imoukh owned by Abdellah and Lahcen. (Cell: 06 67 14 83 71). The shopkeepers are kind, sincere and friendly and willing to make a good deal.  I dealt with a younger guy in his 20s.  Please give them a visit and tell them you heard about them off of a website by a girl who promised to advertise them.
