12/25.- Fez, Medina, mosque door

In the picture you can see a rich decorated door. It gives access to a mosque. As anywhere else in Morocco mosques can only be visited by Muslims. Non Muslims can not go any further than this. It is also advisable not to take pictures of the interior.

If you are staying in the Ville Nouvelle, you will have to take a taxi or a bus to get to the Medina, where all the tourist attractions are. There are two kinds of taxis, the "Petit taxi ", for up to three passengers; and the "Grand Taxi ", or collective taxi, for up to six passengers. The taxi driver may welcome more clients if he has still free seats. I recommend asking your hotel for the price of the ride, because some drivers do not want to turn on the meter.

If you are staying in a hotel in the medina you won't need to take any public transport in order to visit Fez. The Medina is a car free zone. [next »]
