Historically, the souks of Marrakesh were divided into retail areas for particular goods such as leather, carpets, metalwork and pottery. These divisions still roughly exist, though with significant overlap. Many of the souks sell items like carpets and rugs, traditional Muslim attire, leather bags, and lanterns.{{sfn|Sullivan|2006|p=148}} [[Haggling]] is still a very important part of trade in the souks.{{sfn|Christiani|2009|p=51}} The Medina is also famous for its street food. Mechoui Alley is particularly famous for selling slow-roasted lamb dishes.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://millispotter.com/experience/street-food-tasting-tour-in-marrakech/|title=Street Food of Marrakech Medina|access-date=2021-05-11|archive-date=2021-05-13|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210513000510/https://millispotter.com/experience/street-food-tasting-tour-in-marrakech/|url-status=live}}</ref> The ''Ensemble Artisanal'', located near the Koutoubia Mosque, is a government-run complex of small arts and crafts which offers a range of leather goods, textiles and carpets. Young apprentices are taught a range of crafts in the workshop at the back of this complex.{{sfn|Jacobs|2013|p=153}}
