What to see in the medina and beyond, with distances from the riad and our tips to avoid the busiest hours.
All reachable on foot or by petit taxi from the riad.
Visit the monuments in the morning, rest at the riad in the afternoon, then walk down to Jemaa el-Fna at sunset.
The medina is very walkable. On arrival we give you an annotated map with districts, monuments and useful numbers.
