🌿 Fes in a Weekend – A Timeless Journey Through Alleys and Markets

#hellohalloween A weekend in Fes feels like stepping into a living tapestry of history, color, and culture 🏰✨. Start by losing yourself in the medina’s labyrinthine alleys, where centuries-old houses, hidden courtyards, and artisan workshops make every turn a discovery. I loved pausing to watch leather tanners at work, their vats of dyed hides bubbling with rich, earthy colors 🟤🟢. Next, let your senses roam in the spice markets and local cafés. The aroma of saffron, cinnamon, and fresh mint tea fills the air — sipping a warm cup while observing daily life quickly became my favorite ritual 🌿☕. Don’t miss the Al-Attarine Madrasa, where intricate tilework and carved cedar ceilings transport you into another world of craftsmanship and artistry. Finally, hunt for hidden gems: wall art tucked into alleys, tiny riads, and quiet fountains where the medina slows down and feels almost magical 🎨✨. 📍 Location: Fes el-Bali — fully walkable, though a local guide can reveal the best hidden spots. 💡 Tip: Start early to enjoy the alleys in calm morning light, and wear comfortable shoes — the medina is a labyrinth, but getting lost is part of the adventure. A weekend in Fes is more than sightseeing — it’s living the history, flavor, and charm of Morocco, one alley at a time 🇲🇦❤️.
