Dress and etiquette
Modest dress in medinas: shoulders/legs covered; light scarf handy.

Choose well-reviewed riads/hotels with 24/7 reception if arriving late.
Health and comms
Carry sealed water, hand sanitizer; keep a small med kit.
eSIM/SIM on arrival; WhatsApp is standard for drivers and hosts.
