Avenue des Almohades, Place de la Gare Fes, Morocco, 30000, 212-55651902
... with an amazing character who took a particular liking to Sandra (even asked her to marry him). The food was excellent - most of us had kofta tagine (meatballs), but they also brought out an amazing array of dips, bread, lentils and beans. We then had a lovely hot mint tea. Into a carpet factory and upstairs to see the ladies making them. Their fingers were moving so fast I couldn't really see how they were making the knots and cutting off the ...
Fes, Morocco leone_and_mike... for some time now the law still stands. Our next stop was the tanneries, one of the most famous sites of Fes. We were taken up into a building, tiny from the outside, but spanning many rooms on many floors once you entered the door, and eventually came out to a balcony overlooking a set of tanning pools. The building was basically a tanning workshop and series of showrooms for finished leather goods, and the smell of the finished ...
Fes, Morocco dangabesisaak... this night. We joined in some energetic singing and drumming on buckets. We had a nice feast of chicken and meat tajines and melon to finish plus the mint tea again and again. We slept in our sleeping bags outside and woke to a light drizzle and camels walking passed our heads at daybreak the next morning. One of the camels had a good go at trying to bite me. We all piled into the tiny tent and chatted before waving goodbye to the other crew. We played songs on my ipod ...
M'Hamid, Morocco inoursuitcase... very quickly how to deal with them (it becomes easy to see which people to ignore or say no to after a while), and we think that this will be good experience for our future travels through India or Egypt. We will be staying here for another day, after which we're off to the even grander but more hassle-free city of Marrakech and then on to the relaxed coastal city of Essaouira, which will complete our Moroccan experience. We will try to upload some pictures tomorrow.
Fes, Morocco tavini... hooray!! we visited the roman ruins of volubilis yesterday before catching the bus to fes for our big night out... new year was fab although was hell deciding what to wear, in the end i just went in what i was already wearing...although i did get to borrow nice toiletries and straighteners from some of the girls in our group to spruce myself up a bit. We had a 6 course banquet in a gorgeous riyadh in fes medina and all went up to ...
Fes, Morocco julienicholas... adjacent to us, we heard our first call to prayer. Sheila's fork practically leapt from her hand as she said "what the hell is that?" I loved it. I felt as though I was really in Morocco now - the passion of the two voices calling the faithful to prayer was very evident, and i have quickly grown to love these moments in the day. Our tour of the souqs relied on a local guide. The souqs are composed of thousands of narrow, meandering almost sub-terranean streets that can ...
Fes, Morocco fearcuairt... br>than the second; although the second is closer to what I initially
heard as I emerged from my stupor of sleep)
I was awoken around 3 AM by the adhan or "prayer calls" which occurs
five times a day. It was actually one of the most mystical and
meditative moments I've experienced with sound and one of my fondest
take-aways of Morocco. Haunting yet heavenly ...
... The best thing is to get a small kid to be your unofficial guide (and tell him you dont want a guide and wont pay him), then give him a small tip at the end. Anyway, they wont leave u alone, and these guides at least show u some cool things like the tanneries, where they make all the animal skins and leather products the old fashion way....which results in a very bad smell, as they use some kind of animal droppings in the tanning process.
