DAY TRIP FROM CASABLANCA :
You will enjoy today a day trip from Casablanca to Fez. An authentic concoction of eighth-century Fez el Bali (Old part of Fez),we explore also the 13th-century Fez el Jdid (in new Fez), and we visit the 20th-century Ville Nouvelle (built by the French). Fez is the oldest of Morocco’s imperial cities.
The Bab Boujloud (called as The Blue Gate)- so named for the blue Fassi tiles on the outside- was constructed in 1913 by the French in a Mauresque-Andalusian style. The swirls-and-stars-patterned tiles switch to green on the inside, but from either direction it’s an impressive and bustling entry to the historic area’s 9,500 streets and alleys..
By contrast, the Medina in Fez remains wondrously intense and startling – and nowhere makes this clearer than its star sight, the unremittingly stinking tanneries of Chouwara..
