D13***26The English navigation guide leads to the courtyard opposite the one in Figure 1. Enter the courtyard and walk to the end. There's a small dye vat on your right, and more space on your left. Upon entering, someone will offer you mint leaves and then point you to someone, seemingly asking for money. My English isn't good, so I didn't take the mint leaves and didn't speak to them. I just kept walking inside to take photos. Someone else walked up to you and told you it would cost five yuan. I ignored them, and they just walked away. Anyone asking for money is a scammer. If you can get away with it, you'll get away with it. Actually, a few meters up the road (Figure 2), there's a large handbag store. Their upstairs vantage point for photos is prime. I saw tour guides taking groups there, so I went in on my own. Upon entering, they also give out mint leaves, free of charge, from the staff. Just follow the crowd upstairs to take photos and check in. Whether you buy a handbag is a personal choice; no one insists you buy. It's a unique place, definitely worth a visit.

泰迪小熊Came here on March 4, 2019. Fez is one of the four imperial cities in Morocco, known as "Blue Fez" because it produces a very beautiful royal blue pigment. Bab Boujloud is the current western gate of the ancient city of Fez. It was actually built after Morocco became a French "protectorate". It is much more magnificent than the original "Old West Gate". Its outer side uses a lot of blue pigments with local characteristics, coupled with exquisite and repeated Moroccan local decorative patterns, which is especially beautiful under the sun. But what's interesting is that the inner side of this gate is green. Many tourists enter the ancient city of Fez from this gate. You can pay attention to this beautiful gate before entering the city.

64.4/5泰迪小熊Came here on March 4, 2019. Meknes is one of the "Four Imperial Cities" of Morocco. It is called the "Black City". The ancient city of Meknes is also a world heritage site recognized by UNESCO. The great Sultan Moulay Ismail made this the capital during his reign, and the Mansur Gate was the last major construction project during the reign of the Sultan to commemorate his great achievements. Moulay Ismail Sultan is the ancestor of the current Moroccan royal family and can be called "the greatest emperor in the history of Morocco". His gate is not only magnificent, but also very beautiful, containing many well-known decorative arts at that time. Therefore, this is definitely one of the must-see attractions in Morocco. In front of the gate is an open square. There are many shops selling local handicrafts around the square, and tourists and local vendors are on the square.

闲来有趣Various aspects of the streets in the ancient city of Fez 1⃣ A "teacher" from the Academy of Mosques gives lectures to tourists 2⃣ A stall owner bargaining 3⃣ "Zheng the butcher" selling camel meat 4⃣ The strawberries are so big, but they are not sweet this year 5⃣ Transportation in the ancient city relies on donkeys and walking. The streets are narrow, and it is impossible to overtake, so people have to stand aside. The "donkey's chew" seems to be modified from something? It looks familiar 6⃣ Logistics personnel transporting leather materials 7⃣ This store used to be a liquefied gas station, and mules were used for inbound and outbound goods 8⃣ 9⃣ Male and female beggars sit on the ground, and few people care about them
