THE SHORT ANSWERWalk the medina and kasbah together, then use the tram for the civic and archaeological city. Choose one fixed morning anchor, keep lunch in the same district, and protect the evening from unnecessary cross-city travel. Heat, rain and religious calendars can change monument and dining hours; confirm Chellah, museums and Ramadan service directly.
