5 Derb Cior, Rhabt Zbib Fes, Morocco
... very old man, sitting outside a huge clay oven, feeding wood chips into the roaring fire all day long) and where intricate and elaborate wedding seats and palanquins are constructed. We also came across countless ornate fountains, little plazas, and even more mosques spread throughout the Medina (again, non-Muslims are not allowed inside mosques, but during our time in the Medina, a few of the mosques we saw actually had their doors wide open so that we ...
Fes, Morocco annalisamurray... bags, shoes, jackets, etc.
We visited a few different mosques and I was surprised we were able to see so much - we could not enter the mosques but could easily see inside. We also visited a kindergarten class, and were invited in to listen to them sing songs. It was a tiny one-room set up with a ...
... Morocco as respected members of the community and decided to relocate elsewhere after the formation of Israel. In 1948 there were 265,000 in Morocco. Today there are only 15,000. This seemed like an extremely level of migration for a population that were respected members of the community. A little more digging revealed that over their history Moroccan Jews suffered tyrants who taxed, segregated and massacred ...
Fes, Morocco l_schultz... troops ASAP. But that is a dangerous policy.....having gone into Iraq you cannot just pull put. Especially if the current strategy appears to be working. This current adminisatration has got many things wrong and it has repeated its mistakes but that doesnt mean it never gets things right and its current strategy appears to be making a positive diference. On economics he appears to be a bit stronger but then again he supports the $700b bail-out for Wall Street ...

My primary objective here is to learn arabic to the best of my abilities but i also want to ...
Fes, Morocco simon.mcphersonFes was the total opposite of Chefchaouen - massive, sprawling, and made completely of whites, tans, and browns. There were no blues here (or very few). The streets were narrow, winding, and with no apparent pattern or logic. Everywhere in the medina (center city) and zoco (market) was bustling with people, action. Craftsmen and vendors were everywhere. People made loud, rude comments to the girls in our group. Apart from the occasional reminder ...
Fes, Morocco lar4290... concerning this massive maze of narrow streets and alleyways and we were all instructed that for once we had to stick together without exception. People had been known to enter the Medina and never come out and you only had to look around you to appreciate how this could be so. A medieval maze of narrow passages, linking mosques, Riads, food markets and magical bazaars displaying the most beautiful treasures, unfolded before my eyes. Craft areas ...
Fes, Morocco billybullFes is fantastic; we are having a blast! Got pushed into an 8th century wall by a donkey and then giggled like hell; much to the amusement of the moroccans. The city is truly medieval. Renee and I both bought rugs which our guide haggled down to obscenely low rates for us. The tanneries were fascinatingly ...
Fes, Morocco kirilei... heads. At this point I was thinking, "we paid for this service?". Then she places another bucket of hot water in front of us, with cups inside, and shows us to rinse ourselves off using the smaller cups. After about ten minutes of this, the bather comes back to us, and one by one leads us to the next room, which is significantly more comfortable, as it's not as hot as the steam room, and shoves us down on the floor again. We wait. She comes back with ...
