get lost on the medina.

they try to make us believe that we need a guide to go around the medina but it's not true. the only thing they will do is go around with you to the shops where you don't want to by carpets. The restaurants they advice are the most expensive ones.

the best to do in fes is to get lost on the medina and try the most simple places to eat.

if you can, choose an comfortable hotel because you will need it to rest from the hot and movement of the medina.

when i was there i choose one of the less expensive hotels from the "Guide Routard" and can say that it was difficult not to have a clean and fresh room to rest.

from my experience, the "Guide Routard" as better tips then the lonely planet, so, if ou can read in french, choose the french guide to go around marroco.

don't forget the hammam but don't let those guys make you a massage, they are so violent that you can regret it to the rest of your stay in the country.

als je de leerlooierijen gaat bezoeken, neem het busseltje munt aan!

Marrakech is supposed to be the treasure of Morocco if you want to see the traditional culture. If like me your not about to travel all the way tot the south Fez is a real good alternative, and most probably allot less crowded with us tourists

Don't pay for the "massages" at the public hammams. A naked woman will lazily scrub you for ten minutes.

Great souk, was more enjoyable than Marakesh,not so much abuse, make sure you take some mint to put up your nose,to avoid the stink of the tanning place!!!

In my opinion the most beautiful city in Morocco, Fes has a kept intact mazing medina full of suqs. Don't foget to bring a map and a compass or you'll lose your way!

If you are a woman dress conservative (long pants or skirt, long sleeved shirt/dress not tight). If you can travel in pairs or more, or with a male (friend or brother) things can be easier.

Go in a big group and don't get lost...Especially if you're a woman.

Sofitel Palais Jamai is near the old Medina Hire a reputable guide and stay very close Easy to get lost in old Medina, Fes

If you want to have a mediaeval-feeling go visit Fés. It's amazing how people live in these incredibly narrow alleys. But you have to watch out, because it can happen, that a mule or a horse comes along and then it means that you have to run, so you don't get crushed. But it's very very special and I really loved it!
