Field notes
Before you walk the medina
- i.
Start early
Mornings are cooler and calmer, and the tannery dye vats are at their most colourful.
- ii.
Wear good shoes
The medina has no cars — only lanes, steps and slopes. Comfortable shoes make the day.
- iii.
Ask before photos
Doors and tiles are yours to shoot; for people and workshops, a smile and a question first.
- iv.
Shop without pressure
Your guide explains quality and fair prices — buying is always your choice.
