11.4.09 Arriving In And Exploring Fez, Morocco
Disney World is to Florida as Marrakesh is to Morocco – it's an inherent part of the territory, and you’ve got to see it in all its glory and craziness while you’re visiting – but then get the hell out of there!!! After being in Fez for less than 24 hours, I think I can safely say that I’m a little bit in love with it. It’s such a different place – and feels more like the "true" Morocco. The people...
11.5.09 We Heart Fez!
After the intensity of yesterday, touring Fez with Sayid, we needed (and made) a low-key day for ourselves today. Up at 8:45am (only because there was an unhappy cat mewing outside our riad window for a long, long time), we were down to eat breakfast by 9:15am (still wonderful, and today we got eggs, too!). By 10am, we were back in our room – Murray reading and me journaling. Around noon, Murray went to the post office to mail back to Australia the plates we...

... of sights, smells and sounds that define all of Morocco´s medinas. We immediately noticed that this medina was larger than that of Rabat and went head on into the maze of narrow, winding streets and alleys in search of unique gifts, momentos and most importantly mysterious food. After more than an hour of wondering, we happened upon the food, spice and livestock part of the medina and found what we ...
Fes, Morocco mathesonduo... Moroccans take the opportunity to eat their last meal of the night before the sun rises and the fasting begins. The dish is basically dry sugar with ground peanuts, spices and other ingredients which you eat with a tea-spoon accompanied by a drink of milk. I was also trying to remember what it was called but i couldn't remember ...so i asked this group of kids and they started laughing and they told me it ts called 'saloo'. The reason they ...
Fes, Morocco simon.mcpherson... would eat and gorge themselves stupid - go throw up and then gorge themselves again!). Last thing we saw was the huge olive press then our tour was over - we thanked Rashid and hopped in our taxis for the trip back to the city of Meknes. Jo and I got dropped off at the medina and walked around for a bit - actually running into Sophia along our travels. Entering the medina we got lost and a kind man directed us the right way. We saw a man in a ...
Fes, Morocco chooklotto... Hammam just outside the Medina, which was frequented by tourists but when we got there it was closed. Luckily, a waiter from a restaurant offered to direct us to a traditional woman's hammam in the Medina. As soon as we stepped through the ancient wooden door, I could sense this experience would be world's apart from the one in Turkey. Immediately behind the door was a makeshift 'office' of four metal walls with just a slot through which I could see the gnarled face of an old man. I handed ...
Fes, Morocco billybull... prijetio veliki građanski rat u zemlji.Na kraju dana bio sam totalno iscrpljen od svih silnih cjenjkanja i uzalud mi trud jer sam dosta i popusio. Stvar je u tome koliko god se cjenkas, domaći čovjek će uvijek dobiti u pola manju cijenu. Tako stvari funkcioniraju. Prvi dan smo vjezbali kako bi kasnije postali pravi maheri u cjenkanju. Npr. skompo sam se s jednim trgovcem koji je rodom iz plemena mojeg rodjaka, berbera. Odmah sam mu se povjerio i bio je ...
Fes, Morocco josip.kazalicki... for a few moments of lovely solitude; but I was being followed so that wasn't going to happen. So I packed my school bag and was out the door for the walk to school. I live right across from a clinic which seems to be open at all hours. There never seems to be a lack of people in seemly good heath, chatting by the front door. Nurses
in full head scarfs answering their cell phones, or small children playing around their ...
... was dry and to be careful not to drop his iPod when he got particularly animated. And to complete the scene an old man walked by, kicked apart some horse poo and peered to see if there was anything good in it, paused while he made his assessment, and walked on. Truly the great society. Before going on, there will be some (most?) readers wondering if I have a skewed assessment, if I have merely found the type of Islamic country I wanted to find. Have I self selected a ...
Fes, Morocco claude_and_iain... quickly is the squatting toilets that consist of a hole in the ground. Toilet paper is also a high commodity in Morocco. On the ride to Rabat we had to watch out for the goats and sheep that dotted the countryside as well as the streets of Morocco. In Rabat which is the capital we took a little tour of the city and went to a religious burial place of the previous kings. TIP: Watch out for the women outside tourist spots with what look like ...
