Fes

An iconic sight for sure, the tanneries of Fes was absolutely interesting to take in. As well as the smell, which wasn't as bad as I anticipated - and they gave us a bundle of mint to smell if it got too bad. :) Here you can see all the different colors of leather dyed...and dried...and here you will find the biggest selections and best prices for leather products at the surrounding leather shops that have a veranda to see the men at work below. Yes, yes I did acquire a bag while I was there - and it has Berber carpet on it too - double score! :)

Tucked away on one of the many side streets of Fes, with an unassuming door and front is the amazing Riad Salam Fes. A luxury riad nestled in the old medina of Fes, which is a UNESCO world heritage site, is walking distance to so much of the old medina to discover - shopping, foods, markets, restaurants. This is where we ate breakfast in the morning. I know...hard to handle ;)

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! ;) #lifeatexpedia #fes #morocco #medina #lights
