Hotel, Guest House, Hostel, or Riad in Fes
by Deneen1
HI Everyone,
I'm hoping to come back to Morocco 18 Sept to 2 Oct this year. Didn't make it to Fes last year and would really like to go there and spend at least 4-5 days taking in the sites.
I need suggestions for places to stay - at this point I'll be travelling alone, single female, mid-forties.
I would like to get a room ensuite, not in a dorm.
Preferably around 200 dirham or less.
I'm looking on suggestions for Fes el Bali or a short taxi ride away that would be safe for a solo traveller.
Got some great suggestions here last year, but at that time I was travelling with friends and not alone.
Thanks for any input!

Deneen1,
My wife and I have made reservations with the Dar El Menia in Fes el Bali for later this summer. The hotel has it's own website, where they offer discounted summer rates. Do the math and see if it works for you. The hotel location appears to be in the heart of the medina. I do know that the Dar El Menia gets high marks on tripadvisor.com Otherwise, research VT and the Rough Guide Maroc and Lonley Planet Maroc for a list of recommended hotels. The Dar El Menia website is:

Good luck,

Travel Tips for Fes
Place an-Nejjarine
by kit_mc
This small square in the heart of the Medina is quite a gem. Following down to the end of Talaa Seghira, turn sharp right down a covered lane down some steps, just before you end up on Talaa Kabira.
The square has a few tourist shops with the usual ceramics and other potential gifts. It's one of the nicest, well restored parts of the Medina although some people may feel that it's been slightly sanitised. One of the highlights of the square is the the Nejjarine Museum of wooden crafts that contains examples of all things wooden. The building has been completely renovated as well as the square. A gorgeously tiled wall fountain completes the picture.
To one side you'll find a place full of stalls selling metal seats used for weddings, in fine bright silver metalwork. Spend a few minutes looking outside and taking in the building.
This is also an excellent place to go to the loo! The toilets in the museum are the best I found in Morocco - 'that' smell was absent and even good toilet paper!!
Unfortunately, the short route through the dark alley to the square you may come across some hustlers who can be quite persistent, offering you all sorts of thing. Just throw them your usual 'No thanks' smile that you've been practicing all day and walk on. Also, ignore anyone who tells you the museum is closed, as one person did with me so that I would go and see his shop.
Mint Tea
by keeweechic
Mint Tea in Morocco is quite a culture and it is served everywhere. The green tea which was introduced by the British in 1854, is very sweet and unfused with mint. The tea is poured from a great height from a teapot to try and induce a froth in the small decorative glasses. It can be served hot or cold. It is offered in hospitality and it is considered rude not to accept.
CTM bus to Marrakech
by earthflyer
CTM have 2 buses departing for Marrakech.
Journey time 9 hours.
Tickets are around 90 dirhams plus 5 dirhams for luggage.
All buses depart from the CTM Bus Station near Place Hussein de Jordanie next to the mosque.
Please use prices as a rough guide only.
Dar Batha Museum
by kit_mc
The Dar Batha museum is in what used to be a palace in the Andaluz-Moorish style, with the museum galleries located at either end of a large enclosed garden. Located just outside the Medina near Place l'Istiqlal I was impressed by the standard of the museum, although disappointed to find that seemingly only half of it was open. Staff coule be seen larking around when they weren't keeping a slightly suspicious eye on us.
As with the other museums I saw in Morocco, most of the text is in French and Arabic which can make actually working out what some of the items are that little more difficult. There's a mixture of stuff in here, from ceramics to local traditional dress, all very well displayed. Particularly good are some huge Berber carpets in a rather grand hall space. Also nice is a beautifully tiled small courtyard in a corner of the building complete with fountain (sans water while I was there). While it is a museum worth visiting, I'd still say that this is talked up a bit by the guidebooks, although perhaps I didn't see the whole collection.
We had the whole place to ourselves, perhaps all the other tourists were lost in the Medina. On a fine day, if you had time to spare, the garden courtyard might be a nice place to escape the hustle and hassles of the outside world, however the garden was looking a little bit tired, as if it had seen better days when I visited in the autumn.
Entry is well worth the 10 dh cost. The museum is open Wednesday to Monday 8.30 to 18.00.
Channel nº5
by solopes
I've been in Fes twice, with almost 20 years separating the trips.
The visits to the medina were accompanied by different guides, obviously, but, curiously, when entering the leather tinting area, they both used the same joke: Channel n.5 perfume.
It's not a beautiful show, and it is a really awful smell, but it is real, and should be seen. There is progress: in our second visit the guide distributed each one a mint branchlet, that, placed under our noses, disguised a little the strong Channel.
