3 mistakes in the Medina
and how to avoid them
The Medina is not difficult.
It’s just different.
Most uncomfortable experiences don’t come from the place itself,
but from the way we move through it.
A few small shifts can change everything.
1. Walking too fast
In the Medina, speed creates confusion.
If you move quickly:
- you miss details
- you feel disoriented
- you become part of the noise
Slow down.
When your pace changes,
the city changes with you.
2. Turning everything into a transaction
Not every interaction is a negotiation.
Buying something here is not about winning.
It’s a conversation.
If you’re not interested, smile and move on.
If you are, take your time.
The experience becomes lighter
when you stop trying to control it.
3. Trying to understand everything
The real mistake
Thinking that the Medina is something to visit.
It isn’t.
It’s something to move through, slowly.
