This is mostly a shopping trip... - <p>This is mostly a shopping trip. You spend a few minutes of your tour in the port area and then the rest is in the medina or shops en route. You are not taken into the interiors of any of the buildings either other than the towers and walls near the port and a couple of shops that the guide chooses for you. There is an entry fee for the towers which is not much but is not mentioned in the description.</p>
