Fez

Fez is the cultural city in Morocco. You will need a minimum of two days to discover it. Drive along the ochre stone ramparts, then go to the Merinid Tombs. From the ruins of the necropolis, the view extends over "the most imperial of imperial cities". Within its walls, the busy crowd in Fez el Bali bustles about in the small lanes and passageways which all lead to the district of Qaraouiyyin. Once in the medina, you can stroll around the dyer's souk before emerging into Seffarine Square, stronghold of the copperware retailers. Then it's the turn of the tanners, and the woodcraft and henna souks until you reach Medersa el Attarin, the Koranic school, masterpiece of merinid art, built in the 14th century.

Above all, go to see the souk of the tanners and don't hesitate to meet them in the pools downstairs. You will take beautiful pictures.

The medina (Arab quarter) of Fez is huge. Stroll around the many streets and discover the architectural treasures, palaces, mosques and caravanserai and medersa.

Remember to take a map of the medina ...

Don't walk in the medina wearing short skirts or T-shirts whose sleeves are very short.

Moroccan cuisine is one of the best in the world. You will enjoy the tajines, couscous, salads, soups, brik ... And the meal ends with mint tea and pastries, each sweeter than the other .

You can bring back many souvenirs from the souks such as leather bags, pouffes, oriental slippers, djellabas, chichas, furniture made of wrought iron, lamps, spices ... Morocco is a country where the crafts are of the highest quality.
