A key part of the souk experience is haggling, The process often starts with pleasantries and small talk. Building a friendly rapport with the vendor can be beneficial. Vendors usually set an initial price that is higher than what they expect to receive. Your first counteroffer should be significantly lower, often about half of the asking price. Expect a back-and-forth negotiation. The goal is to meet somewhere in the middle. Keep the conversation friendly and light-hearted.
