What an experience walking through the medina in Fes!! Medina means walled city. In the olden times, that is how a city was built – within closed walls. Walls that were very high. No cars are allowed inside and their taxis are donkeys 🙂 You need to walk on the right side of the street or else you will be hit by a donkey/mule. We had our tour guide and he had another guy stay at the back to guard our group.

The Dar Batha Museum of Fes, Morocco was originally a palace built in a Hispanic-Moorish design by Moulay Hassan at the end of the 19th century. The palace belonged to the two Sultans Hassan I and Moulay Abdelaziz. In 1915 Dar Batha Palace took on the role of providing a home to Moroccan arts and was reinvented as the Dar Batha Museum. If you have an appreciation for art, craft and history, the Dar Batha Museum in Morocco is a must-see attraction. The Dar Batha Museum boasts some of Morocco’s most exquisite collections of antiques, astrolabes, aleju (Fes gold thread), traditional Fassie art works such as embroideries, zellij, sculpted works, jewelry, iron works, Korans, carpets and ceramics.

YOGURT! Best to eat the freshly homemade yogurt 🙂
A specialty in Fes – Moroccan Tapa 🙂 Tapsilog 🙂
Breakfast at @palais_faraj_fes
Khlea (also called khlii) is a type of Moroccan preserved meat or jerky, usually made from beef. The meat is cut into strips, marinated with cumin, coriander and garlic, and then dried in the sun before it’s cooked in a mixture of animal fat, oil and water. The meat, once cooled, will keep for up to two years at room temperature when packed in the cooking fat.
In the days before refrigerators were common household appliances, preserving meat served a very practical purpose. (TheSpruce.com) #Khlii #Fes #PalaisFaraj #Morokrew
Our home in Fes! Palais Faraj! It’s a new hotel and not a riad. It is outside the medina. Palais Faraj @palais_faraj_fes designed by the famous architect and interior designer Jean-Baptiste Barian, specialist in Arab Andalusia architecture. #PalaisFaraj #Morokrew
Courtyard
We were all ( 6 rooms) upgraded to an Ambassador Suite at @palais_faraj_fes ? #PalaisFaraj #Fes #Morokrew #h2hinteriors

I am so happy we toured Rabat and we had lunch here!!! This is one of my favorite restaurants in our trip…I would go to Rabat just to eat here. Thank you to my cousin Christopher for recommending this place!! I highly recommend it. It’s so good and very reasonable.
In Morocco, if your restaurant is inside the Medina, they usually arrange for someone to meet you outside so they can guide you to the restaurant because once you get inside the Medina, you can get lost. Waze does not work and there are no street signs. 
The restaurant is not really open for lunch but because our efficient tour guide Youssef talked to them and we were a big group – they opened for lunch. What a blessing!!!! Though I heard it is really a different place at night with a lot of entertainment – I hope to come back here one day for dinner
It’s so cozy in the restaurant
Moroccan Salad
Harira : soupe traditionnelle marocaine
B’stilla – YUM!!! A must eat dish in Morocco 
feuilleté farci de pigeon et d’amandes

Since we were in Rabat already we toured the city! The group from Casablanca picked us up and we toured a few sites
Chellah is the most popular attraction in Rabat and is near the medina. All attractions in Morocco are 10 MAD or US$ 1.00
Storks 🙂
Since we had just arrived from Morocco, we were just so excited to take photos all over! haha!! So we spent a lot of time here.
Though these are Roman ruins 🙂 
Fleur de Orange or orange blossom 🙂 is abundant in Morocco. Love the smell and the taste which they use as an essential oil and as an ingredient 
Another beautiful attraction in Rabat – the Mausoleum of Mohammed 
I’m so amazed at how Jose even got up there! because I cannot do it haha!!
Part of the group stayed overnight in Casablanca and part stayed in Rabat! We were in the Rabat group. Rabat is beautiful – its the city where the Palace of the King resides and where all the diplomats live because they live around him.
We had breakfast in Paul’s. Paul’s is very popular in Morocco, they are in several cities. 
We were 3 couples in Rabat but one couple did not wake up for breakfast haha!!
