Much like most medinas, perhaps not quite as pushy as the medina in Marrakech. The usual touts pretending to remember you from the hotel and letting you know that there's a Berber exhibit for one day only. Fool me once shame on you, fool me...More
My advice would be don't worry about going here it's what it says on the town plan, old medina. You will get approached frequently and asked to look in my shop, all part of middle Eastern and North African culture. But the old medina is...More
As a Chinese myself, I laughed hard when I saw handcrafts and souvenirs there are actually made in China... Don't waste time there, Fes and Marrakesh have much better medinas.

Shop around and bargain to get the best price. I would only use cash in the Medina. If the shop doesn't ship and if you want to be sure the slippers are mailed, you can always mail them yourself. Your hotel can help you with DHL or tell you where the post office is.
