Local Tips
Cash is king as card acceptance is limited. Basic French or Arabic phrases are helpful; locals are friendly but many speak little English. Public transport is limited, so taxis or private cars are most practical.
Cultural Etiquette
Modest dress is recommended, especially for women. Tipping (5-10%) is customary in cafes and taxis. Greet locals politely and respect prayer times.
Safety Warnings
The city is generally safe but watch for petty theft in crowded areas and be cautious at night in poorly lit streets. Avoid isolated rural roads after dark.
Hidden Gems
Explore the weekly souk (market) for local produce, take short hikes into the surrounding Rif foothills, and visit traditional bakeries tucked away in residential neighborhoods.
