🇲🇦Fez el Bali

#HotOverseasPlaces Fez, located in northeastern Morocco Fez el Bali means "Old Fez" in Arabic The old town, surrounded by long walls and called "the world's biggest labyrinth city", is filled with small buildings and has narrow, winding roads, making it almost a maze Enjoy walking around the city and getting in touch with the lives of the people as you wander through the alleys In 1981, it was registered as a World Heritage Site (cultural heritage) under the name "Old Town of Fez" ◦⊹⋯⋯⋯⊹◦◦⊹⋯⋯⋯⊹◦⊹⋯⋯⋯⊹◦◦⊹⋯⋯⋯⊹◦⊹⋯⋯⋯⊹ 1 Since many of the roads are too narrow for cars to pass through, donkeys and mules are still used to transport luggage. 2•3•4•5•6•7•8•9 In the souk, there are many specialty stores selling food, perfumes, spices, lamps, leather, etc. 10•11 Tannery A tannery is a "leather tannery" that turns animal fur into leather. I was able to see the tannery factory from the balcony of a shop that sells leather products. The white cauldron is a liquid containing lime and dung, which is used to bleach leather. The brown cauldron contains a palette of dyes for dyeing leather. The color is apparently created using plants. *We recommend wearing a mask. 12•13•14 Boo. Madrasah Inania This is an Islamic seminary built in the 14th century. It was built by King Abu Inan of the Marinid dynasty, an Islamic state that existed in Morocco. As a non-Muslim, I can only visit the courtyard. 15•16 Bou Jloud Gate It is located on the west side of the old town and is the entrance to the maze. If you don't want to get lost, walk straight down the main street and avoid turning into narrow streets such as side streets. The color of the gate is different on the front and back. ◦⊹⋯⋯⋯⊹◦◦⊹⋯⋯⋯⊹◦⊹⋯⋯⋯⊹◦◦⊹⋯⋯⋯⊹◦⊹⋯⋯⋯⊹ Access 📍About 17km from Fez-Saiss Airport Airport bus: About 40 minutes, fare: About 20 MAD Taxi About 30 minutes Fee: About 130 MDA Bus About 1 hour Fee: About 4 MDA *Please use this as a guide only 📍About 5 km from Fez Station *We recommend joining a tour with a travel agency for efficient and safe sightseeing ⚠️Beware of pickpockets #Morocco #Fez #World Heritage Site #Overseas travel #Solo travel
