When you enter a souk, what's your typical approach to bargaining?

I accept the first price offered—I'm uncomfortable with negotiation. I try to negotiate but often feel uncertain about fair pricing. I open at 40-50% below asking price and negotiate respectfully. I build rapport first, read the merchant's signals, and walk away strategically when needed.

How do you currently identify authentic products and fair quality in souks?

I rely mainly on price—if it's cheap, I assume it's a good deal. I examine items briefly but don't compare across multiple stalls. I compare prices at 2-3 stalls and ask merchants about materials and origin. I request certificates, verify purity/materials, and have established trusted merchants I return to.

Which souks do you typically visit, and how do you choose them?

I visit the most famous ones (Gold Souk, Spice Souk) because they're well-known. I visit famous souks but feel like I'm paying tourist prices. I mix famous souks with some lesser-known markets I've discovered. I know exactly which souks locals shop at, visit during off-peak hours, and understand each souk's specialization.

How much time do you typically spend navigating a souk, and what's your comfort level?

I rush through in under an hour—the crowds and layout overwhelm me. I spend 1-2 hours but often feel lost and miss potential finds. I allocate 2-3 hours, explore systematically, and discover some hidden gems. I spend 2-3+ hours, navigate confidently using landmarks, embrace wandering, and know exactly where to find specific items.
