our last stop in morocco was a few days in fes, which is another walled, ancient city in the northern part of the country. here we splashed out for a room in a really nice riad (called lune el soliel). riads are the traditional living spaces in the medinas – a large home with many rooms surrounding a central courtyard. there we got amazing breakfasts on the roof overlooking the ancient city. the medina in fes is the largest car-free urban area in the world, and takes days to fully explore! fes is famous for its traditional tanneries, where the animal skins are cured and colored in different pools of liquid, all of which can be seen from elevated viewpoints over the area.
overall it was really a wonderful 12 days or so in morocco! we thought of it as our honeymoon, and it didn’t disappoint!
