A practical walking loop links Bahia Palace, the Mellah, El Badi Palace and the Kasbah area without repeatedly crossing the Medina. Keep the order flexible around heat, queues and current opening times.
Researched and updated 22 September 2026.
Start with Bahia Palace
Arrive near opening for cooler courtyards and a calmer route. After 60 to 90 minutes, walk toward Place des Ferblantiers and the Mellah.
Continue to El Badi or the Saadian Tombs
El Badi is the closer large monument and offers open ruins; the Saadian Tombs add decorated burial chambers farther into the Kasbah. Choose one if time or heat is limited.
Finish with food or return north
Pause in the Mellah or follow Riad Zitoun toward Jemaa el-Fna. Save the final destination, carry water and arrange taxi pickup at a broad accessible point rather than deep inside pedestrian lanes.
Walking times are estimates. Street works, crowds and monument access can alter the best route on the day.
