A Bab (door) into the medina

This is Leo's 'home town' and a 'passage oblige' on any vacation to Morocco. Be warned this will not be the most relaxing part of your trip, and the medina can be a real struggle at times, but the price is worth the reward: a glimpse of old Moroccan ways.

Wind your way down the tiny alleys, fighting men, donkeys and food vendors. Give yourself 2 full days to 'experience' the medina. Day 2 will be much more rewarding, as you will be a little less lost. Arts and Crafts are numerous and high quality here. So shop here if you can.

Visit the Mellah (Jewish quarters) in Fes El Djedid- many of the architectural and religious particularities of the Moroccan Jewish community can be seen here.

Fes streets are too narrow and steep for forms of transportation other than donkeys!
