Visit the historic 14th–16th century Qur'anic school to admire carved stucco, cedar woodwork and the serene central courtyard; typically open through the afternoon but check current hours before arrival.
Enjoy an early well-reviewed lunch at Café des Épices in the heart of the medina — known for fresh Moroccan and fusion dishes with a pleasant rooftop area; reserve for 12:00 and allow 1–1.5 hours for a relaxed meal. Verify opening hours and reserve a table in advance.
Wander the nearby souks and narrow alleys to soak up local life, do quick shopping, and take photographs; keep valuables secure and allow time to navigate busy streets.

Explore Jemaa el-Fna and surrounding souks as the square begins to come alive — great for atmosphere, street performers and early evening stalls; vendor presence increases into the evening, so be mindful of personal items.
Dinner at L'mida at 19:00 — enjoy a well-regarded restaurant offering refined Moroccan cuisine in a comfortable setting; arrive on time and confirm your reservation if needed.
Return to your riad or take a short walk around the lit medina for a rooftop tea or a nightcap; check opening times for any late venues you plan to visit.
