The guy with the mattress
by barryg23
As we were walking along Talaa Seghir, one of the main streets of the medina, we got delayed behind a guy trying to carry a huge mattress on a small cart. The mattress kept sliding off, so every few metres he had to stop, lift it back on to the cart and reposition it. To make it more difficult he was going slightly uphill. After dropping it about 4 or 5 times, some tourists offered to help the poor guy but he refused, struggling on alone. Most of the locals seemed to be laughing at him. I hope he doesn't have to do this every day!
Andalus Mosque
by barryg23
The first real sight we saw on our tour around Fes el-Bali was the Andalus Mosque, in the heart of the Andalus Quarter, one of the oldest parts of the medina. I was still struggling to get to grips with how our guide pronounced English (he spoke extremely fast!) so I didn't take in too much of what he told us about the mosque. Unfortunately we could only admire it from outside, as, like all the mosques in Fes, it was closed to non-muslims.

Zawiyya Moulay Idriss II
by iaint
This is the mausoleum of Moulay Idriss II - the son of the founder of the country's first dynasty - and a highly significant place for all Moroccans.
Although it may have been his father, he is often credited with founding the city.
Non-Muslims are not allowed to enter, but you can (as I did) take a picture from the entrance.
