FES & NORTHERN MOROCCO
Once Morocco’s capital for over four centuries, Fes is a labyrinthine medina. Within its white-washed walls lie carved doors, souks fragrant with saffron and stuffed dates, the famed Chouara Tanneries, and a warren of busy alleyways that glisten with fountains and zellige mosaic. Beyond Fes, the Rif Mountains draped in olive groves, the twin coastlines of the Mediterranean and Atlantic, the Blue City—Chefchaouen, and the Roman ruins of Volubilis. Listen for the muezzin’s call echoing over terracotta rooftops and the rhythmic clang of metalworkers’ hammers.
