Days that respect geography, energy, opening hours, crowd pressure, and the pleasure of not rushing.
ROUTING LOGIC
Times are suggested planning windows, including the travel buffers described below. Reorder whole days for museum closures, weather, and confirmed reservations. For a shorter visit, use the first day or first two days; extensions and alternatives are labeled.
Allow three hours including a 30–45-minute approach, museum if open, permitted exterior views and the return uphill. Shorten the route for heat or mobility needs.
Dar Roumana dinner
Rest first. Reserve dinner and organize the porter meeting; do not navigate an unfamiliar deep-medina route unaided after dark.
Meet your guide after breakfast and confirm the day's vehicle pickups.
Chouara terrace and nearby trades
Agree the terrace terms first; allow two hours for the approach and surrounding lanes, with a shorter alternative for odors or stairs.
Eden lunch at Palais Amani
Book Sunday lunch and allow 30–45 minutes from the tannery area including navigation. If unavailable, prearrange Café Clock and omit the workshop to protect the slower cross-medina return.
Begin after the actual class and meal end; do not rush a later-starting session. Return only to shops you chose independently. If no class is available, have Café Clock lunch and keep this a relaxed medina day; Al Batha is closed Tuesday.
The Ruined Garden supper
Reserve an early table within the operator's published afternoon/evening service and organize the return to your riad.
