🇲🇦 Fes Medina Guide | "You Can't Leave Without Buying Two Bags!"

🚌 From Chefchaouen to Fes (Bus Tips) CTM Bus: 4h, 120 MAD (best quality) Took the 13:00 bus, arrived 17:30 (city traffic!). Nejme Chamal: 80 MAD (locals' choice). 🏙️ Fes: New City vs. Medina New City: Modern, better hotels/restaurants. Medina (Old Town): Where the magic happens—9,000+ maze-like alleys! 🚖 Taxi Hack Shared taxis rule! Show your destination—driver checks if it fits their route. No luck? Just hop on the next one. 🛏️ Where to Stay 📍 Medina Oasis Hostel (Booking.com) ¥130/night (breakfast included!) Even during Christmas, they honored the original price. 🎯 Fes Medina Must-Dos 1️⃣ Chouara Tannery (N10 Panorama Point) 🏭 FREE access (some shops charge 10 MAD—just walk away). Traditional leather dyeing: Pigeon poop + cow urine = ancient (and smelly!) methods. Pro tip: They’ll invite you to browse bags—bargain hard! (Camel leather > cow > goat.) 2️⃣ Marinid Tombs (Sunset Spot) 🌅 Shortcut through a cemetery (weirdly romantic?). Best view of the medina’s chaotic beauty. Stayed 1+ hour—chilled until it got too cold. 🛍️ Shopping & Food Leather bags galore! Check stitching (handmade vs. machine). Street food gems: Snail soup (like herbal broth). Fried fish + yogurt (no regrets). Sheep’s head meat (20 MAD, heavy but worth it). 1-MAD cactus fruit from grandpa’s stall. ⚠️ Survival Tips Ignore hustlers (just say "No, thanks"). Fes isn’t scary—just stay aware. Final thought? You will buy a leather bag. 😂 #Fes #MoroccoTravel #Medina #Tanneries #BudgetTravel #NoScams #Wanderlust 🌍
