As a passionate traveler, you’ll need to keep your eyes open, because a thousand little details will tell you about the country and will be just as many memories you’ll want to take home with you. For lovers of sumptuous rugs, pottery, ceramics, and traditional jewelry, the choice will be difficult—there is so much beauty to be found.

• The souks: The best way to explore the souks is to stroll leisurely and aimlessly, to go with the flow of life, and to let your senses guide you. Soft wool, a steaming glass of tea, the scents of spices and brines in the spice souk, the flavors of kebabs and honey pastries, the murmur of men, and the dull clangs of tools echoing from all around.
