Timeline
17:35
Grab a drink and settle in at Les Jardins de la Medina. The tall white columns and stylish interior provide a calm base before the evening rush. Check that you arrive before 19:30 when the kitchen closes for the day.
18:20
Walk to Bab Ksiba. This ancient gate served as a primary entrance to the Kasbah citadel. Find a spot near the outer arch to frame the sky.
18:50
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW, casting a final glow over the southern medina walls.
19:20
End the night with a quiet Moroccan tea at Zeitoun Café Kasbah. It is open late and offers a relaxed atmosphere to decompress after the view.
Local tip
The walk from the restaurant to the gate is short. Keep an eye on the opening hours at Les Jardins de la Medina as they close at 19:30, so timing is essential for the pre-sunset drink.
