Historic City of Fes (Fez) Morocco - Sam's Exotic Travels of 2011 [03:07]
Fes is one of Morocco's most historic cities - and well worth visiting, despite the fact that people in Old Fes dislike having their picture taken. Oh well, here's why it should be on your agenda: Fes el Bali (Medina of Fes) is the oldest and walled part of Fes, Morocco. Besides being famous for having the oldest university in the world Fes el Bali, with a total population of 156 000, is also believed to be the biggest car-free urban area in the world. Fes el Bali was listed by UNESCO as a world heritage site in 1981. One of the most interesting sites in the Medina is the oldest leather tannery in the world, which dates back at least nine centuries. The tannery is composed of numerous stone vessels filled with a vast range of dyes and various odorous liquids. The tannery processes the hides (skins) of sheep and goats, turning them into high quality leather products. The Royal Palace comprises of 80 hectares of land and its compound includes beautiful gardens, mosques and also an ancient school for Koranic studies that whose origin can be traced back to 14th century. General public are barred from entering the Palace but they are even an impressive sight even from outside. The garden doors are famous for their Giant Brass knockers that were made by special artisans from Fes El Bali. The Palace is also famous for the golden doors.

"Hotel Malaga, Larache" Jeremyhill's photos around Larache, Morocco [01:11]
A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Larache, Morocco by TravelPod blogger Jeremyhill titled "Hotel Malaga, Larache" Jeremyhill's travel blog entry: "Got up at 7 today and had breakfast in the hotel. Breakfast was fruit juice, coffee and a selection of breads and cakes - flat bread buns, couscous cake, mini-croissant and a couple of other mini, French-style pastries. Like everywhere in Morocco, speed of service is not an important factor, as it is back home. Everyone takes their time, lets you take your time; no rush. After packing-up, I took my bike out of the yard and prepared to set off for Larache. The security guard was very attentive, helping me to fix my panniers onto my bike, without being asked. I paid him 20 Dirhams - just over a pound - and then left. When I put my bike away the night before, it was made clear to me by the guard on duty, that I would have to pay something for this service - he asked what time I would be leaving. In fact it was a different guard on duty when I left. Maybe they share the money between them. Leaving Tangier was a lot more straightforward than finding the hotel the night before. For a start it was light. The guard pointed me in the right direction to pick up signs for Rabat - the same way as to Larache. I was soon clear of Tangier and into the countryside, where the route divided into a new motorway - with toll booths, or the old road which I continued along. It is ironic that the old road, which I cycled today, had ...

Day 1 Camel Trek - Morocco 9/2009 [00:45]
After setting up the tent a heavy sandstorm came up so we had to move the tent down wind and anchor it to the only tree in about a mile. Joe is helping the guides dig a hole in the sand to pound in a corner stake while i'm standing on one corner to hold it down. Fortunately by this time the rain and the hail had stopped and it was only wind. On the downside all the blankets and mats were wet, but not too bad.
