You can only look at the gate but it's a nice one.

Palace in fez of the king
One of the oldest in Morocco.  I was struck by the section (not shown here) where 500 children were buried in unmarked graves, most of them dating from the 1930s-40s.  I learned later that there were both malaria and cholera epidemics that crossed North Africa during that time, and wondered if that was a contributing factor.

The Chouara Tannery of Fez, Morocco dates back to the 11th century, it operates much the same way it has since its inception.

Bab Lghoul

Bab Lghoul might not have many top sights, but Borj Fez Mall and Royal Palace are two attractions nearby that you can check out.

Bab Lghoul
“Blue? It’s green!” we hear you cry! The other side is blue, but this side is green, the colour for Islam. Standing since 1913, this is the gate that represented all the Arabian Night stories. We got up at 5.30am to get shots without people. If you like this angle you need to head to the roof of the Cascade Hotel. For a few dirhams the sleepy doorman will let you in and lead you up. Seeing the sunrise over this very special city while the Mu’azzin sing out the prayer call is a must. Should you head that way, please send our love to Fes. #history #fes #morocco #babboujeloud
