After breakfast, we drove to Fez. Along the way, stop to explore the Heritage Site of Volubilis, the once-bustling city and Africanadministrative center of the Roman Empire. The site also has vestiges of the Berber civilization that took the city from Rome in AD 270. We continued to Meknes and view the Bab Mansour gate, beautifully patterned with zellij mosaics. Very nice and traditional Moroccan tajine was tasted at a local Fez family home. Next day we visited the Bab Boujloud, or "Blue Gate" and visit the famed Al-Bou Inania Madrasa. At old town medina, we had an opportunity to look around Moroccan carpets and stop at the Chouara Tannery to see how leather is cut and dyed using traditional techniques. At the Nejjarine Museum, browse the collection of wooden arts and crafts, then view copper craftsmen at work in Seffarine Square. During the tour the e Karaouine Mosque and University, the oldest continuously functioning university in the world, founded in the year 859 were visited.
After lunch in the medina, we visited the Jewish Quarter and mellah, built in 1438. By the end of the walk, we were at the King's Palace.
