🌿

Mint Sprig

At the tanneries, you'll be offered a sprig of mint to hold under your nose. Accept it gratefully.

🎨

Artisan Etiquette

When visiting workshops, watching is free but buying is appreciated. These crafts support entire families.

🚶

Walking Pace

Narrow alleys mean donkeys have right of way. Listen for "balak!" (watch out) and press against the wall.

📿

Sacred Spaces

Fes is deeply religious. Dress modestly, speak softly near mosques, and respect prayer times.

🍞

Communal Bakeries

Locals bring bread dough to neighborhood ovens. Watch for the small doorways with steam rising — that's a ferran.
