I'am going to Fes for a month, and I need access to internet. Is it possible to find a shop where they have interaccess?
Twentiy-first century cities, Fez included, have cybercafes both for residents and visitors. In January in Tanger, the rate was 10 MAD per hour. You will have your choice of French or Arabic keyboard.
For helpful people and cleaner-than-average computers, try one in the new city (the Ville Nouvelle): the Cyber on Chefchouni street. Easy to spot, I think it's near a BMCE bank. About 7-8 dirhams an hour last I knew.
Also, there's a large cyberclub near the Hotel Batha, if you'll be in or around the old city area (the Medina).
Several others here and there. Just keep your eyes open for signs. They'll give you a ticket when you sit down and you pay with it when you leave.
Okay. Fassis with names like Bennani and Idrissi mean quality pigeon pie and getting weepy at lunchtime when the Andulcian music puts them to sleep. That's a fact. But who really kicks ass up in this here ancient city? Bounjen and Khurzooz, that's who. The Rif has it's own standards, it's own culture, it's way of representin'. Peace.
High on the hills overlooking the city are the Merenid Tombs. They were originally built within the walls of the old Merenid Kasbah. There are little remains of the structure and you can only reach the ruins by taking a goat path from the road. If you do make the climb, the views from the top over Fez are supposed to be well worth the effort.
I'm Italian - my grandmothers, God bless them, would both visit me from the grave to curse me if I praised a restaurant's Italian over their food.
Thank God for me that I have never eaten better than their food - but for you, you lonely travelturtle, you'd better eat something quick cuz you look kinda funky.
And that place may as well be Vesuvio. It is an attractive place and if you have a lover, bringing them there could work for you.
The food was just fine. I only eat my family's food, so what do I know about love uptown? Pizza with the goat meat. Rocked quite a bit - by the way, if you went to the all-too-stinky Venezia it's because of my previous spelling, sorry, dawg.
The tombs of the Merenid Sultans of the 14th Century are high up above the north of the city. While the tombs themselves are in ruins, they make a nice spot to take in the vista over the Medina. I know very little about these ruins and can't seem to find much information about when they were built or for whom.
While they are in a very bad state, crumbling to bits really, you can look closely and see the remains of some of the detailed carvings. And of course it's all free.
In fairness though, seeing as it's a bit of a hike, if you're low on time and don't want to take a taxi, you could settle for a view the Merenid Tombs from a distance on one of the terraces in the Medina such as the Nejjarine Museum. Also, while you get a bird's eye view of the Medina, it's the panorama of the surrounding mountains that were the feature for me.
This area tends to be fairly deserted and I can't imagine that it's a good place to be after dark. When I was there, there were maybe a couple of other tourists and a Berber with his sheep trying to, unsuccessfully, sell me a rug. He was pleasant enough, and while persistent, he was much less hassle than I experienced in other places.
The entrance to the Royal Palace, Dar el-Makhzen, is a stunning example of modern restoration. This district known as Fes El-Jdid, also known as the New Fes is west of the medina and dates back to the 13th century.
Tourists cannot gain entry to the Palace which has buildings and grounds extending over 80 hectacres.
Our guide told us the doors took 3 years for craftsmen to decorate.
