Medina navigation
Old city medinas are labyrinths. You will get lost. This is fine. Ask shopkeepers for directions — they're almost always helpful. GPS works poorly in medinas; follow landmarks.
🏠 Daily life in Morocco
Daily life in Morocco comes down to small habits — laundry, groceries, schedules, household routines — that locals do on autopilot and newcomers learn by watching.
In Morocco, daily life comes down to a few things: medina navigation, friday is the holy day, and hammam is weekly.
Friday is the holy day
Most things close Friday afternoon for prayers. The weekend is Saturday–Sunday, but Friday midday is sacred. Plan around it.
Hammam is weekly
The public bathhouse is a social institution, not just hygiene. Locals go weekly. Bring your own soap, scrub mitt (kessa), and flip-flops. Separate times for men and women.
