Fez or Fes?

Medersas or Quranic School in Fez.


We went to the tanneries but unfortunately my camera developed an odd intermittent fault so the only image I managed to capture here was of the colourful Babouche, a Moroccan slipper.


Our guide went through the Old Medina so quickly, so as not to get lost I had to take photographs while practically running!


The entrance to the Royal Palace in Fez, colourful mosaics and the flag of Morocco.


Two of the gates (Bab) to the Fez Medina, another UNESCO World Heritage Site.



The Roman City of Volubilis, Morocco

A busy day, on the same day we went to Volubilis, a Roman city and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, restored after an earthquake in the mid eighteenth century.


A stork's nest.


A lot of stone was looted by Moroccan rulers to build the City of Meknes.


An ancient Roman sign?


This was the only place that I felt you could really see the marks left by people who lived here. These dents in the rock were made by people washing clothes, this was the laundry.
