Conservation
The Medina faces waste and water pressure from tourism—use refillable bottles, avoid single-use plastics, and support family-run stalls to keep economic benefits local.

Bring small-denomination dirhams

Stay hydrated and refill
Carry a reusable water bottle; buy sealed water from vendors or refill at cafés to avoid single-use plastics.

Start in the afternoon to see souks in daylight and Jemaa el-Fnaa light up for dinner service when street food stalls peak.
