Land softly, then wade into Jemaa el-Fnaa as the city wakes up after dark.
Check into a medina riad
Settle into a traditional riad inside the old walls so the souks and monuments are on foot from your door. A central courtyard riad beats a modern hotel in Gueliz for first-timers.
Tabi says
Have the riad send a porter to meet you at the nearest taxi drop point; lanes are too narrow for cars and unmarked.
Koutoubia Mosque and gardens
The 12th-century minaret is the medina's orientation point and the template for the Giralda in Seville. Non-Muslims cannot enter but the gardens around it are the city's best free stroll at golden hour.
Street food at Jemaa el-Fnaa night market
After sunset the main square becomes an open-air food court of grills, snail stalls, and harira soup kitchens. Walk a full lap before sitting, then pick a busy stall with locals at the counter.
Tabi says
Confirm prices per item before ordering and skip stalls that hand you a menu without numbers.
Rooftop mint tea over Jemaa el-Fnaa
Any of the cafe terraces ringing the square work for a first night view of the snake charmers, gnaoua drummers, and smoke from the grills. Order a pot of mint tea and stay an hour.
