Guided tour of Fes

The fountain in En Nejjarine square is the most beautiful in Fez with its decor of zelliges and its cedar wood canopy. The Medersa El Attarine is also a pretty representation of Hispano-Moorish architecture (comparable to the Medersa Ben Youssef in Marrakech (although less well maintained!). The souks are surely the great interest of Fez. The visit of the district of Tanners are the most impressive. The Tanners are barefoot in mostly natural dye tanks. The skins have been previously stripped of their hair in lime baths for weeks. The great spectacle of this work can be seen at the top of the shops tanners. Accept the mint leaves at the entrance offered by the merchant, in order to withstand the foul smells that you will encounter above the vats !! Souk of dyers, henna, jewelry, blacksmithing, carpentry, everything is made in this wonderful city.
