FES
Fes el Bali
Fes el
Bali is the oldest and largest medieval city in the world. The whitewashed
medina was built in a valley by the banks of the river fes and is surrounded by
green hills. It spans 300 hectares of which there are around 550 inhabitants
per herctare. Unlike other medinas, such as Essaouira, which have been
logically built in a grid-like layout, Fes el Bali has simply evolved over the
centuries as new houses have been built up and down the surrounding hills and
passageways added. This means that there is no rhyme or reason to its design.
Alleyways lead off main thoroughfares, some ending in doorways others in brick
walls, the medina is almost impossible to navigate without the help of a guide.
There is no point hunting around for a map as no such thing exist. One of the
more reliable ways of telling your location is to see whether or not you are
heading up or down hill as much of the meidna is on a steep gradient. The old
city is split on either side of the river Fes. On one side is the ancient
Andalucian quarter and on the other, joined by just two bridges, the more
recently built, more touristically and more exlusive, Karaouyine quarter.
If Fes el
Bali is your first port call in Morocco, you could find it intimidating with
its crowded, cobbled strrets, dawdling mules and overpowering stench of pigeon
dung and fermented chaff used to treat the animal hides, that wafts across from
the ancient but fully functioning leather tanneries. Note: there is talk of a
filtration system being installed in the old medina to reduce the smell, which
is a shame as it an alluring feature of Fes. Many of the streets are no wider
than 6 feet, with six storey high building and all street signs written in
Arabic. This is where its appeal lies, along with its spectacular properties
hidden behind towering doorways, its elaborately decorated mosques including
the Karaouyine mosque, second biggest in north Africa and able to accommodate
20,000 people, Koranics shools with courtyards paved in marble and the coverd
market with its vast array of little stores and workshops. Hours can be spent
simply watching craftmen at work; carpenters, goldsmiths,
embroideres,engravers, weavers, blacksmiths often squeezed into spaces little
bigger than an elevator. The streets are alive with the sound and smells of a
city unchanged in centuries. Goat’s feet, quinces and fresh cheese sell on
chabby wooden boxes and barrows overflow with avocadoes, artichokes and mint.
Altogether there are 10,539 little shops in the old medina selling anything
from pig’s trotters, offal and spices to tambourines, jewellery and doors.
The best
way to learn your way around is by getting to know your own neighbourhood. The
medina is made up of 187 quartiers, each one required, by law, tohave a mosque,
a Koranic shool, a communal oven where families can bake their own bread,
apublic hammam and a water fountain- both the water fountains and the hammams
are served by 70Km traditional water supply network, running throughout the
medina. There are 4000 water fountains in the hole medina. A large number of
households obtain their water from these fountains, as private water supply
into the home is expensive.
Fes el
Bali has won accolades for being the world’s largest contiguous car and bike
free zone based on population size with just one road penetrating the city
walls that does not enter into the heart of the medina and offers only minimal
parking opportunities.

Climate Morocco
| Morocco has a subtropical climate, tempered by oceanic influences that give
the coastal regions moderate temperatures. Toward the interior, winters are
colder and summers warmer, a more continental climate. At high altitudes
temperatures of less than -17.8° C (0° F) are not uncommon, and mountain peaks
are covered with snow during most of the year. Rain falls mainly between November and April. Precipitation is heaviest in the northwest and lightest in the east and south. The last few years there almost has been no rain in the south and east of Morocco. The warmest month in Marrakech is August, with temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius. We visited in September and at day it was between 32 and 40 degrees, at night between 24 and 29 degrees. |
| Marrakech | Casablanca | Agadir | Tanger |
| The national flag |  |
| Official name | Al Mamlakah al Maghribiyah, or Kingdom of Morocco |
| Area | 446,550 square kilometers (11x Holland, slightly larger than California), without the Western Sahara |
| Number of inhabitants | 31.7 million (July 2003); Population of Marrakech: 740,000 |
| Population density | 71 per square kilometer, but very irregularly dispersed |
| Capital | Rabat |
| Monetary unit | Dirham (MAD), divided into 100 centimes. 1 dirham is ongeveer € 0,10 (sept. 2003); 1 € = ca. MAD 10 |
| Road network | reasonable, although there are some dangerous routes; this is more due to the behaviour of drivers, in our opinion than to the quality of the roads |
| Fuel prices | We didn't notice since we didn't rent a car. A liter diesel is a bit less than € 0,60. |
| Cars' license plate | MA |
| Telephone country prefix | 212 |
| Internet country code | .ma |
| Prices in general | On average we paid € 0,70 in Marrakech for a cup of coffee (up to € 4 in the luxurious hotel Mamounia) and between € 1 and € 4 (average€ 2) for a small beer (Flag Special), if it was available |
| Time difference | Compared to Holland: -1 hour in winter, -2 hours during summertime |
| The best in Marrakech | Spend a few afternoons and evenings on the Jemaa el Fna square. There are some nice restaurants with a roof garden for a good view on the square; wandering through the souks is another must. Concerning places of interest we liked Jardin Majorelle best, a colourful and quiet osasis in this busy city. |
| The most important | Trust the cabdrivers and put your faith in their hands; traffic may seem chaotic but there are very few accidents in the town |
