Breakfast/Brunch

Be On Look Out

- some women will “ accidentally “ pour black ink on you and offer to do a henna tattoo on you for free… then at the end, will charge you for it

Black ink is dangerous and toxic, avoid it. Wipe it off and keep going …..

Real hemma should be redish, greenish, and will leave a brown tint

- gettin saffron, in the souks, saffron is often salflower, real saffron should be brought in non Tours areas, ask the RIAD host about where to get them. Ver

Etiquette

- use only your right hand when eating and only the first three finger …..

- left hand is considered unclean, bc usually thought of as the hand you use the bathroom w. So avoid eating, shaking hands , leaving a tip w your left.

- some toilets don’t always have toilet paper , bring some

- tipping is not required but, they do tip there
