The read
- What it feels like
- The lanes immediately around the main plaza have the highest concentration of leather goods, woven blankets, and tour operators. This is where you book the Akchour waterfall trip or a guided hike. More commercial than the quieter upper medina streets.
- Who is around
- Tourists browsing crafts, tour guides collecting groups, and shopkeepers calling you in for tea
- On foot
- Relatively flat compared to the deeper medina, with wider streets near the plaza.
- After dark
- The restaurants and cafes near the plaza are the main evening gathering spots. A short walk in any direction leads to quiet, residential lanes with minimal lighting.
