Spices, Spices, Spices!!! From Dakhla we took a late night flight to Casablanca. As we only got there around midnight and were planning to move further right away early next morning, we decided to spend the night at the airport.

Street view in the Fès Medina

Leather worker

No clue what chemicals he is using on the sheep skin but it does not look charming...

Tannery at birdsight

They use cow pee and pigeon shit to treat the sheep skins before the coloring starts. Yes, a stinky place indeed...

Maybe your next fancy bag?

Colored leather drying under the sun.

The Royal Palace in Fès

One of the many enormous gates...

The Main Gate

Entrance to the Royal Palace, rich and elegant in perfect oriental style.

The Fès Mellah

Lovely streets: old Jewish houses with open balconies. A nice contrast to Muslim styles.

Gate nr X.

One of the many, many gates in the Fès Medina...

Muslim Cemetery

Nice, calm place under the blue sky. Note that there are no names on the tombs, just verses of the Koran.

Local Hospitality

Fatima's sweet mom cooked a wonderful local dish, Kennaria, for us. Yummie! Fatima was the 'receptionist' in the pension where we stayed in Fès. Really nice folks!

Baboush, baboush, baboush!

The local slippers-style in Morocco. Almost the category of art.

Dates, nuts, dried fruits!

As much as you wan and they are all delicious!

Pottery square

Pottery took over the place of the old Henna Souq in Fès.

Street view

Locals sitting around at one of the gates of one of the many mosques in Fès.

Without this our trip would not have been complete...

Chris recovering from Malaria in one of the hospitals in Fès. No clue in which country he got the disease, but for sure it was not in Morocco.
