... the staff's helpful recommendations and insight into the city around you. Enriching your stay and leaving you with more memories to cherish. During your stay at the Riad Zahraa you'll also enjoy the many amenities that you'd find at most modern hotels ...

We had a VERY busy day today - pretty much went non-stop from 8 am until midnight - saw the medina, the imperial city, the new city, Volubilis (historic Roman city). I'm too tired to write a lot, so I'm just going to post a few pics. Meknes is a wonderful city - clean ...

... goods, but nowhere near what he expected. We politely told Mohammed thank you but that we weren't going to use his overpriced connections for the Sahara either, and on their leaving exalted at finally getting one back at the ubiquitous rip off artists of Morocco. The hotel manager joined us in our celebration, and we decided to just eat at the dining room and have a couple of beers to celebrate.

... women sifting piles of deep red paprika onto bright blue tarps.  We walked past sweet sellers with elaborate piles of decorated candies and honey-soaked pastries stacked so high that the buyers could barely reach to pay.  The most shocking, to us, was the meat market, where sellers, disconcertingly, sold live chickens and rabbits by weight while others stripped carcasses, cut meat, or sat in boredom watching over cages full of chickens, boxes ...

... expensive goods that are like the emporers new clothes. Another example......basic pasta in Paris cost 16E....the cheapest room we could find was around 45 Euros.....for god sake!!!

... after. Gross! It was then on to Fes and the weather changed dramatically. The two ladies in our group were still without their luggage, lost on the flight over, and were feeling the chill without their extra clothing. We stopped for a view of the old city (Fes El Bali) from the top of the North Borj tower. Very nice I guess on a good day but it was blowing a hoolie and freezing cold so we gritted our teeth while our local guide insisted on making us stand up there while ...

... Like Fez it has a huge royal palace and walled old city (medina) with narrow streets and souks. The city is much less ancient than Fez and was made a capital under Moulay Ismail, a ruthless king in the late 1600s and early 1700s who regained much territory in northern and coastal Morocco from the Spanish and Portuguese. I was pleased we stopped in Meknes, so I was able to ...

... for peoples scraps. There are cats EVERYWHERE in morocco. There is also no such thing as sanitary here. Food is prepared by hand with no gloves on; you see chicken and fish being sold in the market, covered with flies, if their is a toilet, there is no lid to sit on, and certainly no toilet paper, no soap to wash hands with, no ties holding back hair while cooking, and no hold barred on animals entering the kitchen and dining room area. You really have to ...
