Grab a juice or veggie meal at Café à l'Anglaise. Perched on the highest peak of the Medina, it offers panoramic views and 100% organic dishes cooked in a traditional wood oven. It is open until 22:00, so you have plenty of time.

Walk five minutes south to سور المعجازين. This small park is a quiet spot to wait for the light to change. The sun sets toward the WSW, so you will have a clear view of the sky darkening over the city.
18:32
Watch the sun dip below the horizon. The golden light fades quickly after 18:32, so stay here for the full transition from bright gold to twilight.

Head to Restaurant Ahlen for a late dinner. It is just a three-minute walk from the square. Order a tagine or couscous; the price includes bread, olives, cheese, and tea. It is open until 23:00, so it is a perfect end to the evening.
