Today we enjoyed a colourful days sightseeing of Fes the
religious capital of Morocco our tour in the old Medina (market) we admired a
collection of tradition art such as the sculptured wood, wrought
iron, and plaster as well as the decorative materials that are works of
art. We explored the labyrinth of souks declared by UNESCO as one of the
world”s cultural treasures complete with carpets, embroidery, jewellery and
coins. We visited the tannery which
literally took our breath away with its pungent odour We had fun bartering for carpets and jewelry
were they continually exhorted us to buy their goods without drawing breath to
listen to our pleas to escape, I never thought shopping could be so exhausting,
in the end I did resist and bought a magnificent carpet leaving a happy
salesman in my path.
