About the neighborhood
Medina and Skala
Why choose the medina?
- The ramparts, the port and the monuments within easy reach
- Riads and guest houses with roof terraces, sometimes facing the ocean
- Restaurants, cafés and craft workshops on your doorstep
- The beach just outside the old town
Good to know
The medina is largely closed to cars. Ask your riad where to meet: many offer to come and collect you. The lanes are simpler than in Fès or Marrakech, but the doors look alike: make a careful note of the address.
Practical information

Good to know
- Medina: cars usually stop at a gate or square and the last stretch is through pedestrian lanes; ask the property where to meet you on arrival.
