Things to remember:
Always to the side in the Medina. Bikes will come quickly and you need to be aware of your surroundings.
Please dress appropriately and do research before travel.
Women need to have their knees, cleavage and shoulders covered.
If you're not Muslim you cannot go into a Mosque
Do not listen to locals trying to direct you somewhere
When bargaining, first offer them 1/3 of what you're willing to pay.
Each hotel/Riad/Dar serves wonderful breakfasts for free which they usually tell you about prior
