Fes: Land of Leather, Carpets and Silver
... has been used for many different purposes since it was built in 1350. Then we saw a place that used to be a hotel, a place where people wait for their rugs to be sold, a museum of wood (which we decided we didn't have enough time to walk through), and a place where people rent chairs to take pictures in at their wedding. Then we arrived at a government co-op rug workshop. They showed us where people make rugs, the roof (not really sure why, ...
