We stayed in a beautiful riad in the Jewish quarter. It was very pleasant and you can get to the center of the Medina quickly.

When you wander through cities of other cultures as a tourist, you tend to overlook certain cultural or country-specific details due to the abundance of new impressions. A local youth, while walking with me, explained to me the difference between the Jewish Quarter and the other parts of the city in terms of the architecture of the houses.

The houses in the Jewish Quarter have balconies that face the street, i.e., outward. Muslim houses have balconies facing the inner courtyard.

So, if you walk through the winding alleys of the old town and see small balconies facing the street, you know you're in the Jewish Quarter.
