6/25.- Fez, The Medina, Sultan Palace, detail

In the picture you can see a detail of the tiled decorations of one of the walls of a room in the sultan's palace. The guide showed us the men's room, the hammam room and the sultan's espouses room. These sultans knew how to live!

If you come to Fez during the summer months, I recommend you to visit the palaces around noon, when temperatures are at their highest point. Architects of these houses knew how to protect the rooms from the outside heat. Inside the rooms you won't be harassed, you won't hear the noises of the street, no smells either. The perfect place to relax. If there are no other visitors, you may even take a short nap, and feel like a pacha for a while.
