Funky Old Medina

Images of Fes- and not one tassled red hat among them (click to enlarge)... The donkey is called the taxi of the Medina.

This is a fondook, where passing traders stored their goods and rested.

Typical scene in the Medina

Peering into the Mosque of Moulay Idriss II, the venerated 9th century founder of Fes.

The tanneries are in the heart of the old city and smell like hell.

These men are scraping the hair off the hides.

This is the door to the 'Black African' mosque, serving mainly Senegalese and Mauritainians.

The view from my hotel terrace.
