Is This Your Business?
 

Crowd: Lots of guys but some just waiting for friends. Those "working" will make eye contact and follow you or get you to follow them so that you can talk, arrange and agree a price.***br***Morocco has funny laws and locals are not really allowed to hassle tourists, so they don't speak to us if police are in sight. If they do the police will lock them up for 2 days and they have to pay a fine of 200 Dirhams. That's a lot for them. If you say they are your guide they get locked up for acting as a guide without a permit. You can't easily win. So they always walk in front or behind you by 3 meters. They will take a separate taxi in a lot of cases too. They are sometimes too frightened until you get to wherever you will go to do it.***br***But the great is worth the small hassle.

Neighbourhood: Medina

Who's Coming

Lots of guys but some just waiting for friends. Those "working" will make eye contact and follow you or get you to follow them so that you can talk, arrange and agree a price.

Just ask the taxi to drop you at the Place Jemmaa al Fna. It's the part where all the buses stop.
Cross street: Rue el Mouahidine and Moulay Ismail
