Local Tips
Carry cash, as many small shops and markets do not accept cards. Haggling is expected in the souks, so don't hesitate to negotiate prices.
Cultural Etiquette
Dress modestly, especially near religious sites; shoulders and knees should be covered. Tipping is customary, about 10% at restaurants. Greet with a polite 'Salam' when entering shops.
Safety Warnings
Generally safe, but watch personal belongings against petty theft in crowded areas and markets. Avoid walking alone late at night in poorly lit streets or deserted areas near the port.
Hidden Gems
Visit the Fadhloun Mosque for its unique architecture or discover the artisanal workshops in Harouna for authentic local crafts.
