Money-Saving Tips
Eat at local markets and neighborhood spots instead of tourist areas - typically 60-80% cheaper than medina tourist restaurants
Use public buses and shared grand taxis instead of private taxis - can save 70-85% on transportation costs
Stay in guesthouses in residential areas rather than prime medina locations - usually 40-60% less expensive
Visit museums and attractions on local resident days when available - often 50% reduced admission
Shop for snacks and water at local grocery stores rather than tourist shops - typically 200-300% markup in tourist areas
Book accommodation directly with properties during low season - can negotiate 20-40% off posted rates
Common Budget Mistakes to Avoid
Taking private taxis for all transportation instead of learning the public bus system - costs typically 4-6 times more
Eating exclusively in the main tourist squares of the medina - prices are usually 150-250% higher than neighborhood spots
Booking last-minute accommodation during peak season - can cost 100-200% more than advance bookings
