Fes Travel Blogs

We spent a very very long day walking through and exploring the ancient 9400 twisting and turning lanes of ancient Fes.  It was incredible...I felt as though I stepped through a time warp back into the 9th century.  We started off by driving to the top of a moutain overlooking the ancie…

The greatest and the unbelievable trip with my friend Dan...

Here was our travel plan from Gate 1 for the day: Day spent wandering through the narrow alleys of countless souks (bazaars), tanneries, and remarkable Islamic architecture.  Tonight, enjoy a Moroccan dinner in the Medina including entertainment.

I made it to Morocco fine. The first day of the tour was packed w/ activities. Since we have the afternoon to ourselves we went on our OWN walking tour of Casablanca.  We are too cheap to hire a cab so walking and hiting the pavement is fine.  First task to do was to get a big bottled wat…

Old Fes is described as "one of the most complete medieval cities left in the world today and the spiritual heartbeat of Morocco".  About 300,000 people still live in the medinas of Fes el Bali and Fes el Jdid. This morning we went on a guided tour with Mustafa which included a ceramic …

My stay in Fes attending ALIF

After a good refreshing jump in the pool, a good diner and a nice night we were on our way to visit the Medina of Fes. But first we went to visit a pottery, to see some traditional mosaic works. I have great respect for the people working there: painting detailed cups, making tiny pieces of mosaic …
