Part 4 of our 5 month cycling trip across the Mediterranean Europe from Portugal to Turkey with a 2 week visit in Morocco. This is the Moroccan part from Tangier through Rabbat, Meknes, Fez and back to Tangier.

Fes or Fez (Arabic [Fas], French Fès) is one of the four (2Casablanca,3Rabat, and 4Marrakech)so-called "imperial cities".Fez is the cultural and spiritual centre of Morocco. It was founded in 790 BC. The main attraction in this ancient city is the medieval Medina, the old part of the city, which has been continuously inhabited since the 10th century and still bustles with a bewildering throng of colourfully costumed tribal people, from olive-dealers and veiled women on their way to the baths, to industrious merchants and traditional bell-ringing water-sellers.It seems that the city of Fez is still lingering back in the Middle Ages. Fes el Bali (the old, walled city)is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
