Travel Guide

The Chouara Tannery of Fez, Morocco dates back to the 11th century, it operates much the same way it has since its inception. 
In this photo a young man dyes the hides of cows, sheep, goats, and camels inside of stone vessels. The solution that they use to clean and soften the skins is a mixtures of cow urine, pigeon feces, quicklime, salt, and water. #history

The Medina of Fes El Bali is the biggest Medina in Morocco and it´s full of life!
Madrasas, fondouks, palaces, residences, mosques and fountains are everywhere! But, be careful, this Medina is also the most labyrinthine, so my advice is to have a local and official guide with you, especially if you have no much time to visit the city  because you´ll probably get lost more than once! ;)

The blue gate is one of the main entrances into the medina in Fes.

Mellah
This beautiful wooden fretwork separates the reading room from the book stacks, which we did not have access to.  You might notice that the design mirrors the fretwork on the outside of the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca.

What a lovely, memorable place
It’s difficult to describe how nice our stay in Fes was. This house is magical. Communication with Christophe was easy, and he even set up a ride for us to Volubilis (must-see). Just be sure that the taxi driver understands the price you’ll pay before you head anywhere, in case of miscommunication. ...

The property was very nice but communication with the host was difficult because he only spoke French. Address was vague and had no specific number. It got us close to the apartment but we had to get actual decorations from the host and it was difficult.
