Look subtle on your phone or mapĪs I wrote: surrender to the medina and get lost!

The moment the crowded streets gets a bit too overwhelming, it’s time to walk to the Blue Gate and leave the medina for the Jardin Jnan sbil. The medina streets are so narrow that you will not get much daylight. So ignore all so-called guides with their advice and go with your guts instead. It was called to us several times a day and we only once or twice walked into a dead end street. A clever remark to help tourists to an unwanted guide is the warning ‘the road is closed’, after which the person in question will guide you a little further.
If you think someone is ‘just pointing the way’, think again. The road is not closedĭo not take any advices, as you will be saddled with a guide in no time. They are more touristy, but usually lead you straight through the medina from one side to the other. You can also minimize the chance of getting lost by staying on the main roads. Is the road slightly uphill? Then you are walking on a road towards the edge of the medina and you will go to one of the gates.
