There are bargains to be had in the alleyways of the Sousse old city for holidaymakers who can haggle successfully. Carpets and leatherware are favourite buys for tourists, but there is also a vast stock of cheap souvenirs on which to fritter away the holiday budget.Some visitors are intimidated and do not enjoy bargaining with the souk shopkeepers, who usually begin negotiations with inflated prices. These visitors would be better advised to do their shopping in the adjacent modern shopping mall, which is crammed with shops offering local goods and wares from all over North Africa at fixed prices.
