Fes

Empty street in the old medina of Fez, Morocco
“Blue? It’s green!” we hear you cry! The other side is blue, but this side is green, the colour for Islam. Standing since 1913, this is the gate that represented all the Arabian Night stories. We got up at 5.30am to get shots without people. If you like this angle you need to head to the roof of the Cascade Hotel. For a few dirhams the sleepy doorman will let you in and lead you up. Seeing the sunrise over this very special city while the Mu’azzin sing out the prayer call is a must. Should you head that way, please send our love to Fes. #history #fes #morocco #babboujeloud
The blue gate is one of the main entrances into the medina in Fes. #fes #morocco #beautiful #aroundtheworld
This alleyway in the ancient medina of Fes, was tucked away and hidden. This rainbowroad caught our eye when we just happened to look down an alley behind a half open door. The street was the brainchild of a local artist and his friend. They built photos and art into the walls, and are happy to show you #takeahike #morocco #fes #hiddenplaces #secretspot #art

Other neighbourhoods around Talaa

An iconic sight for sure, the tanneries of Fes was absolutely interesting to take in. As well as the smell, which wasn't as bad as I anticipated - and they gave us a bundle of mint to smell if it got too bad. :) Here you can see all the different colors of leather dyed...and dried...and here you will find the biggest selections and best prices for leather products at the surrounding leather shops that have a veranda to see the men at work below. Yes, yes I did acquire a bag while I was there - and it has Berber carpet on it too - double score! :)

El Ayoun

Though El Ayoun may not have many top sights, you can venture to the surrounding area to see attractions like Bou Inania Madrasa and Blue Gate.

This beautiful wooden fretwork separates the reading room from the book stacks, which we did not have access to. You might notice that the design mirrors the fretwork on the outside of the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca. https://davenotravels.blog

R'habet Zbib

When in R'habet Zbib, you can plan a visit to Chouara Tannery and Bou Inania Madrasa, some noteworthy sights in the nearby area.

R'habet Zbib
The Medina of Fes El Bali is the biggest Medina in Morocco and it´s full of life! Madrasas, fondouks, palaces, residences, mosques and fountains are everywhere! But, be careful, this Medina is also the most labyrinthine, so my advice is to have a local and official guide with you, especially if you have no much time to visit the city because you´ll probably get lost more than once! ;) #lifeatexpedia #fes #morocco #medina #lights
