Empty street in the old medina of Fez, Morocco
Empty street in the old medina of Fez, Morocco
“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
The blue gate is one of the main entrances into the medina in Fes.

This alleyway in the ancient medina of Fes, was tucked away and hidden. This rainbowroad caught our eye when we just happened to look down an alley behind a half open door. The street was the brainchild of a local artist and his friend. They built photos and art into the walls, and are happy to show you

This riad is a spectacular oasis from the busy medina, like a Faberge egg which opens up once you get in the front door. Hosts are genuine and helpful with absolute grace.

Other neighborhoods around Talaa

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! :)

El Ayoun

While El Ayoun isn't home to many top sights, Dar Batha Museum and Blue Gate are some notable places to visit nearby.

4.5/5(257 area reviews)

Travelers come to Fes El Bali for its abundant dining options, and you can see top attractions like Saffarin Madrasa and Chouara Tannery while you're in town.

Fes El Bali
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.

Qasbah En Nouar

Qasbah En Nouar might not have many top sights, but Blue Gate and Place Bou Jeloud are two attractions nearby that you can check out.

Qasbah En Nouar
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! ;)
