Morocco: Tour of Medina (Fez), part 3


The tour continues. We spent a good deal of the day touring the medina, so we got to see so much. Some of the attractions were not accessible, you can only peek from outside, like the University of A Karaouine, which is considered by the Guinness Book of World Records as well as by UNESCO as the oldest continuously-operating, degree-granting university in the world.

Others I don't even know what they are, probably mosques, because we can only look from the open doors.

The doors are simply magnificent.

A private residence. I wish I could go inside and see all the tilework.

Then we passed by an incredibly ornate door with a crowd in front of it; I was only able to photograph a little detail.
