Why Aura
Base a morning here: Bab Agnaou, the Saadian Tombs at opening, then El Badi, finishing with lunch on a Kasbah rooftop. Quieter streets than the northern souks.

If it rains

Jamaâ el-Fna – Musée du Patrimoine ImmatérielMedina – Jemaa el-Fnaa · Go before you spend an evening on the square: the displays explain the halqa storytelling circles and music you will hear later. A rain-proof hour right on Jemaa el-Fnaa.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.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.

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.
