Must See Morocco - Fès el-Bali

The medina of Fès el-Bari (Old Fès) is one of the largest living medieval cities in the world, an incredible maze of 9400 twisting alleys, blind turns and souqs. It's crammed with every conceivable sort of workshop, restaurant and market, as well as mosques, medersas (schools) and extensive dye pits and tanneries - a veritable assault on the senses.

Wander through the bazaars, pause to watch something or someone of interest, negotiate a sale, or relax with a mint tea and take it all in. On Fridays the medina pretty much closes down. Saturdays and Sundays are the liveliest days.
