A full day of touring the old city of Fez starts with more walks through the labyrinthine Medina. A visit to a leather tannery that still uses centuries-old methods is a glimpse into the past. (See the tanners in the rooftop vats of tanning fluids with a backdrop of the city behind them. We’re given mint leaves to hold to our noses to ward off the stench of the tanning.) We tour a Medursa and then eat lunch in a spectacularly beautiful courtyard restaurant that looks like something out of a story book. Moroccan musicians play and soon everyone starts dancing, and we become storybook characters ourselves in this magical space. Some late afternoon shopping takes a group of us to a rug merchant set in a palatial courtyard that used to be the home of royalty.
Hi! I was in Morrocco in 2000 and went to some of the places I see pictures of here. Wonderful place. Be careful with buying oriental carpeting if you have a pet! I brought home a beautiful carpet for my living room and my dogs would not stop using it for a piddle pad. Then I remembered that the dyes are animal blood and the like. No wonder!have fun in England! Sending you all light and love, Tommie
