Day trip to Meknes, Morocco

While refurbishing our old house, Dar Borj Dahab, in the Fez medina, Anita and I took a day trip to Meknes, which is only a 30 minute train ride from Fez.

Place el-Hedim in the Meknes medina is great for people watching.

In the ceramics souk we found a sea of tajines, traditional ceramic cooking vessels.

Just around the corner there were rows upon rows of babouches, traditional Moroccan shoes.

Inside, the covered market is filled with spices, olives, sweets and dried fruit.

As I watched the couple strolling around Place el-Hedim I wondered if they were looking for tagines, babouches or something from the spice market.
