Tuesday: DAY 4, FES:
After breakfast, full-day tour of the city of Fes, The Holy City of Fes is a
jewel of Spanish-Arabic civilization. Fes does not reveal its secrets
easily. Secretive, shadowy, they need to be discovered little by little,
with reverence. Only in this way can the splendors of Medrsa architecture be
fully appreciated. Only in this way will the call of the medina tempt you.
Bustling with artisans and merchants, its captivating sounds, fragrances and
colors mesmerize the visitor with a constant swirl of activity. The city of
Moulay Idriss 1st, sanctuary of human and moral sciences. The great À
Karaouiyne University bas for eleven centuries been a religions and
intellectual center whose influence bas spread far beyond the Kingdom's
boundaries. In 789, a pick-axe of silver and gold -"fas" in Arabic - was
presented to Idriss 1st to use in tracing the outlines of the city. Hence
the name of the city, which lies at the far eastern end of the plain of
Saïss, bordered to the south by the hills outlying the Atlas Mountains.
Cradle of religions, cultural and artistic traditions, Fes, the double city,
is the kingdom's spiritual capital. The Andalusia mosque, dating from the
9th century, and further embellished by successive rulers, is accessed
through a mighty door of sculpted cedar. An imposing minaret decorated with
green faiences crowns the Rsif Mosque. The Medersas around the Karaouiyne
Mosque, former lodging houses for students coming from outside the city,
attest the importance of its thousand years of history. In the Medina, a
labyrinth of sloping, winding alleyways are crammed full of stalls and
workshops. This is the famed Kissaria -the commercial center. A multitude of
locally produced goods are on sale in this incredible maze-cotton fabric,
silk, brocade work, slippers, and many more.
The craftsmen of the El Attarine souks offer the visitor a non-stop spectacle. For hundreds of years such work bas been regulated by traditional guilds, ensuring that its quality is worthy of the city. Each district has its own specialty : cobalt blue enameled pottery, carpets, wrought iron ... one looks on as the dyer stirs his yarns, steeped in their multitude of colors, as the tanner tramples his skins under an open sky -skins that the leather-worker will eventually adorn with fine gilt for book-binding . Leaving the souks through the Boujeloud gate with its decoration of green and blue faiences, the riches contained in the wonderful Museum of Moroccan Art await one Optional lunch at the Medina and shopping in the afternoon. Dinner and overnight at the hotel
