Fes, Morocco

Met a funny taxi driver with poor driving skills and totally don't know the direction at all. reverse whole way until end of road, drive at opposite side of one way traffic, a few times I was worried he was going to crash the car next to us. I couldn't wait anymore to ask him whether this is his first day of driving, i tried to ask him in a polite way, "are you from Fes?" then he answered, "no, I am from Casablanka."


Royal palace in Fes: there are Royal palaces for the king in every city in Morocco. All are rich decorated. the front door of Fes Royal palace is painted in golden color and decorated with mossaic.




The blue gate: entry to Medina (old city). we almost lost in the big souk which like a Labyrinth. some of the road is so narrow that we have to squeeze in/out like a fish.


Tannerie (the place dyed leather):I was told the locals use pigeon shit to soft goat skin, that is where the strong odour from. not so sure how true it is, some of the book says the smell is from the animal urine in dyeing tank, some believes animal urine can make color stays longer and brighter on leather.


Nijerim square and Nijerim fountain, one of the must-see in Fes. but why it is a must-see?
