Book riads inside medinas for instant immersion; time visits for weekdays to dodge weekend crowds. Hire local guides for first-day orientation only, then go solo. Align trips with festivals like Marrakech's for amplified energy.
Download offline maps like Maps.me but embrace getting lost. Wear breathable layers and sturdy shoes for uneven cobblestones. Bargain politely at shops but skip touts offering "best routes."
Learn basic Arabic phrases like "shukran" for warmer interactions. Carry cash for tiny vendors; cards rarely work deep inside. Explore at dawn or dusk when alleys empty and lights glow.
