Fake medina guides

How it works

Self-proclaimed "guides" approach you saying you are lost or that the road ahead is dangerous. They lead you to partner shops or demand payment at the end. Very common in Fez and Marrakech.

Field advice

Say a firm "no thank you" and keep walking. If you want a guide, book an official one through your riad or the tourism office.
