Fez, 24 - 25 September, 2015

We arrived in Fez after a short train ride from Meknes. The Eid was still going on, so most of the shops were still closed in Fez on our both days. By now all sheep were killed. No more mee-mee. Their skin layed all along the streets, we are trying to avoid them because they smell really bad. Their heads are burned in various locations in the town using charcoal on the streets. Skulls, horns and skin are all around the city. It's a totally different view from what an average tourist can get on another day. It's very authentic though. The Medersa was however open.  Its wall decoration was very intricate.
Our afternoon for in the Jewish quarter, the Mellah was quite interesting. We entered the cemetery, and found graves of famous rabbis of which I've never heard I must admit. The cemetery is very well maintained and clean.
