Rabat's old medina is smaller and far less overwhelming than Fez or Marrakech, making it an ideal place to experience authentic Moroccan street life without getting lost. The main artery, Rue Souika, is lined with spice sellers, fabric merchants, and traditional craftsmen. It's a genuinely lived-in neighborhood rather than a tourist market, and locals shop here daily. Head toward the mellah (old Jewish quarter) for quieter lanes and interesting architecture.
