Why Aura
Wander it between Dar el Bacha and the souks: the fountain, the hammam doors and the craft shops of Rue Mouassine are all within five minutes. Non-Muslims see the mosque from the street only.

If it rains

Hammam MouassineMedina – Mouassine · For the real neighbourhood version: bring your own towel, black soap and flip-flops (or buy them nearby), and ask for a gommage. Go mid-afternoon on a weekday when it is calmer.Musée de la Musique (Mouassine)Medina – Mouassine · Time your visit for the 18:00 mini-concert in the painted douiria, then walk two minutes to the Mouassine fountain as the lanes empty. Check the current concert days on the site.Ben Youssef MadrasaBen Youssef · Carved cedar, stucco and zellige around a courtyard pool, with the students' cells upstairs. The light on the pool is best mid-morning.

Koutoubia MosqueKoutoubia · The 12th-century minaret that still sets the height of the old city. Mosques are closed to non-Muslim visitors, so walk its gardens at dusk, when the stone turns rose and the call to prayer carries over the square.Jemaa el-FnaaJemaa el-Fnaa · The square changes shape through the day: juice carts in the morning, food stalls set up at dusk, music circles after dark. Eat at a numbered stall with a posted price and agree prices before photographing performers.
Bahia PalaceRiad Zitoun el Jdid · A 19th-century vizier's palace of courtyards, painted cedar ceilings and zellige. Go at opening: by late morning the tour groups fill the main court.
