Intriguing Fez.......

Where to start to describe our visit to intriguing Fez? Established in the year 808 Fez is the oldest city in the world never to have been destroyed. Fez's fascinating Medina has 9000 narrow streets & many dead ends! The streets are crowded with workshops producing among other things mosaics & woven goods; countless small shops selling a myriad of good ranging from leather ware, embroidery & beautiful carpets to dried fruits  & fresh fruIt & veg; the ruins of ancient caravanserais; mosques & a Madrasa. This was mixed with inviting aroma of freshly baked breads! In addition there was the odd glass of delicious freshly squeezed orange juice to reinvigorate the shopper!

During our stay here we experienced the ancient Arabic art of calligraphy & today Moroccan button making with the inspiring Amina....... More to come on that. Stay posted for further updates....... The Travellings Wanderers
