Un Fes'ed
... into the foothills, the road became winding and rougher, and the traffic got a little more complicated by a messy mixture of very slow trucks and vans, with faster and crazier Mercedes and grand taxis… we kind of played the middle ground. There were a couple of larger cities including Beni Mallal where we found a Marjane hypermarche to stock up.
By mid afternoon, we were well into the "Middle Atlas" region, with some sharper and steeper roads interspersed with ...
Fabulous Fes
... leather. After seeing the first tannery we freed ourselves from our friend and continued on our way. As we moved on our way we got stuck going in circles around the Kairaouine Mosque and University (the largest Mosque in Africa and possibly oldest university in the world). Every entrance was a gorgeous gate and though we couldn't’ go in when the doors were open we peaked and saw that it was quite impressive inside. At one point we got caught on a small street that ...
A Day with Thami and a Lesson in Negotiating

Ici, dans cette ville de plus de 150 000 habitants et de plus de 300 mosquées, certaines minuscules, d'autres immenses comme la grande mosquée pouvant accueillir 20 000 fidèle (autant que le stade des Alouettes...), je crois qu'on ne peut pas trouver de l'alcool. Mais qu'importe, il y a bien plus de chose a se mettre sous la dent! Dans la médina, j'ai pu visiter quelques artisans ...
