Local Tips
Bring cash as ATMs are limited and international cards may not always work. Dress modestly, especially in rural quarters and during religious festivals.
Cultural Etiquette
Tipping small amounts is appreciated in restaurants and by guides. Dress conservatively (shoulders and knees covered). Always greet with 'Salam' and respect local prayer times.
Safety Warnings
Figuig is very safe; petty crime is rare. Avoid walking in unlit oasis paths at night to prevent getting lost. Beware of intense heat in summer months.
