Medina (Fes)
Approx. Time: 2 hoursActivity Level: Easy to Moderate
Just go through a gate into the medina and you will find yourself in another world altogether: the magical and mysterious world of the Orient unfolds its charms for the visitor.
The dyers' souk is really just a narrow alleyway flanked on both sides by small dark stalls in which the dyers pursue their business, bent over blocks of dye. The rinsing is always done in the street.
The great tanning work affords a marvelous spectacle. Small round or square cubes cut into the floor are filled with a thousand and one different colors. The hustle and bustle around these cubes of colors is constantly kept up by men who devote their energy to cutting animal hides in their bare feet, a spectacle of rare beauty.
