Claimed to be the one of the oldest medieval cities still alive in the world, old Fès is an adventure to walk around in, with surprises around each corner.
I stayed right at the edge of the city, behind one of the large city gates which served to protect Fès in days gone by. Entering into the old city and its souqs means to leave behind any points of reference and just plunge into the maze of little alleys and squares that make up the city. It is like a labyrinth, with twisting lanes, dead-end alleys, secretive doors, narrow streets that hardly deserve to be called like that. While you enjoy the enormous amount of local goods offered in the souqs, you have to be careful not to be hit by a passing donkey carrying heavy loads without respecting any minimal distance to the pedestrian traffic.
