Colors, textures and history…
Second day in the Medina of Fez.
Today we decided to join a tour group and take a guided tour.
It was a great choice; it cost us about €10 per person, and we were able to visit the city's most secret places in a very safe way.
The tour lasted three hours and was well worth it, as the guide explained many things about the city's history, architecture, customs, and Berber culture in general.
I really love history, and if someone explains it to you while you walk and discover interesting things, then it's even better.
Also, today the Medina was bustling with merchants. I had no idea Fridays were a holiday for the Arabs, and yesterday that was exactly what happened.
A multitude of colors and smells everywhere, everything was super beautiful, and the people were generally very friendly, better than expected.
I felt very safe, and I can tell you that we ventured into some pretty strange and special places.
I'm writing these lines while I wait for a Moroccan massage that many people have recommended, then a swim in the pool and back to dinner.
Traveling is so good! Enjoy it while it lasts...

Awesome pictures, Eddie! Great insights. Glad you are enjoying your time over there. 👍🏻
It is really a very beautiful place that you visited, the building looks very interesting and full of very amazing architecture, and what you said is very true. We should enjoy our time to travel if there is still time I will enjoy it my friend ❤️🙏
Ten euros it's quite cheap for such a lovely tour ❤️❤️
Your story makes this creature more beautiful. It gives me highlights of how these wonderfully man-made creation speaks it beauty within. Thank you for this!
10€ for 3 hours safe trip seems a good affair!
I love history too, so I totally get you
Yea for Arabs Friday is like out Sunday
Whenever we go to visit a country, we must hire a tour guide, who will show us every special place.
10 euros for a tour sounds like a decent deal. I guess it's not that safe?
Looks like a fantastic culture! South Spain should have some of that influence. Enjoy your vacation!
It's like I'm also in the place because of your photos. very beautiful.
It's so true how much more vibrant a place feels when you have a guide explaining its history as you walk through it ✨ Feeling safe while venturing into unique spots is key to a great travel experience 💖
