On the second day of our trip, we thought it made sense to visit the imperial city of Fes, which was unlike any other city that we have seen so far in Morocco. The city is split into several parts, but our favorite section would have to be the old medina, which is basically a minature labyrinth of shops, riads/hotels, houses, and anything else you can imagine. According to our guide, over 400,000 people call the medina home, and we can certainly understand why so many tourists get lost once inside.

These are the tanning pots, which are used to dye all kinds of animal skins various colors.
Just a really cool door from the King’s palace
