Wear sturdy shoes
Cobblestone alleys and sudden steps require closed-toe, grippy footwear to stay comfortable for multiple hours of walking.
Carry small bills and coins
Vendors prefer change; have dirhams in small denominations to speed transactions and simplify bargaining.
Pace your bargaining
Start with a lower offer and be polite—haggling is part of the culture but maintain a friendly tone and know your walk-away price.
Protect valuables
Keep cameras and phones secure; use a crossbody bag and avoid flashing large sums of cash in crowded lanes.
