About Tips ?
Tipping is never mandatory, but culturally it’s a common way to show appreciation in Moroccan culture.
Sometimes visitors are not aware of local customs and leave only small coins, which can be considered inappropriate.
To avoid any misunderstanding, I always mention this in advance as a cultural guideline — not an obligation.
Tips are always at your discretion, though less than 10 € is generally viewed as symbolic.

For the best experience, please bring:
Comfortable walking shoes (you’ll explore the Medina on foot)
