Finally, we arrived in Fez. We were very grateful to be there in one
piece, but a tad stressed out for the experience.
We followed a random guide straight to our Riad – a restored 14th
Century palace – and made a plan for the rest of the day. Being the artisan
capital of Morocco and renowned for the quality of it’s craftsmanship, we had
planned on getting out and doing spot of shopping over the course of our stay.
We were a bit stressed, however, to discover that we had basically arrived on
the equivalent of Christmas Eve and Fez was going to be shutting down for a
week. We therefore had a very small window of opportunity to get out and see
the city before everyone went into a festive hibernation.
