Someone places a snake on your shoulders without asking, then demands €20+ for a photo you never wanted. They work in groups and will get aggressive if you refuse to pay.

Women grab your hand and start applying henna before you agree. Once it's on your skin, they demand 200–500 MAD. Refusing leads to a loud public confrontation.

A friendly local offers to show you the tanneries for free, then leads you to a carpet or leather shop where you face high-pressure sales. The 'guide' earns commission on anything you buy.

You're offered mint tea and shown dozens of carpets. Prices start at 10x the real value. Saying no triggers guilt-tripping, fake 'special prices,' and blocking the exit. The tea is the trap.

Fresh orange juice costs 5 MAD at the square, but some stalls charge tourists 20–40 MAD. They quote the inflated price after you've already drunk it.

Someone tells you 'that road is closed' or 'the mosque is closed today' and offers to show you a different route — which leads to a shop, riad, or dead end where they demand a tip.

Men on the square aggressively steer you into their restaurant with fake menus and promises. The food is overpriced and poor quality. They earn commission per head.

Petit taxi drivers refuse to turn on the meter and quote 5–10x the real fare. Common at the airport, train station, and tourist hotspots. The real fare within the Medina is rarely above 20 MAD.
