Shopping in Hammamet: Tips and Recommendations

Anonim

Hammamet is the perfect place for shopping. I myself am not an amateur to go shopping, but in Hamamet it is impossible to resist.

In addition to souvenir products, local leather products are most popular among tourists: all sorts of bags, wallets, belts, shoes (mainly slippers and slippers). For this purpose, we visited the old market on the territory of the medina several times.

Medina Hammamet

I will immediately say to buy goods at a good price on the market it is customary to bargain. Perhaps this occupation to someone will seem annoying and not acceptable, but at least once it is worth trying to entertain. Purchases turn a kind of ritual. With any appearance of a tourist in the market, the merchants begin to call you, and in Russian: "Rasha come in", "see", etc. Sometimes they can get a store to supposedly ask how much thing in your country is one thing, and then start offering to buy something.

I advise you not to apply if you like some thing. Possess something else, mess around the head. Then you just ask the price of the product you like. The first named price is always overestimated at times, in response, offer your price with a small gap for trading. In the process of price reduction, they usually complain that you rob them, call you "Bangito", "Baba Yaga" and in other words, praised from Russian tourists (sometimes not understanding their meaning). If the seller does not want to give you the desired price, or leads a bunch of arguments why he cannot do it, try to leave. If he won't be sorry for time spent on you, he will try to return you, shouting after more reasonable prices. If not, then approximately you know the real value of the thing and you can safely go to another shop and bargain there.

For example, for a small leather bag over the shoulder (A4 format), the seller wanted 45 dinars from us, we were offered fifteen, in the end, I wanted 120 dinars in another shop, then 120 dinars wanted for slippers, then they said that this is the price for the French and Germans, And for the Slavs brothers will give in just 40, but in the end they gave for 12.

You can find the real cost of goods in stores with fixed prices. We have seen such in the tourist area - Yamin (for example, Joy's). By the way, in Yasmina there is its own modern medina, built not so long ago. Some tourists recommend first to rise in Joy's, and then go to the market to bargain, so there is a possibility to buy even cheaper.
