Fez, Morocco

Morocco is located in the north west of Africa, it's official name is the Kingdom of Morocco..

The official language of the country is arabic and french .. and the dominant faith is Islam ..



Fez, Morocco (our city of accommodation)



Fes is one of the four so-called "imperial cities" (the others are Marrakech, Meknes and Rabat). It is separated into three parts, Fes el Bali (the old, walled city), Fes-Jdid (new Fes, home of the Mellah), and the Ville Nouvelle (the French-created, newest section of Fes). it is located at the northern east of morocco near the atlas mountains..


Although i might have come from a similar culture, language and religion (kuwait) however, this whole morocco trip was no comparison to what i was used to back in Kuwait .. The layed back environment in terms of technology was a major factor ,, the local used donkeys as a mean of transportation besides vehicles they spoke arabic however they spoke it with an accent that is way different than the one i spoke ..


Our stay in Morocco was from Mar 27 - Apr 1, thanks to christy, eric and adrian we got a very sweet hotel (Dar) to stay in, it was basically a typical residential in fes but it was transformed to a hotel, its interior enhanced its city's culture. It was amazing ,, the following pictures are self explanatory ..
