Fez : Bab Foluh.
Timetable. — Quite a long stay may be made at Fez without the tourist's
interest flagging for a single moment. Those able to spare but one day for
the visit will proceed rapidly through Fez-Jedid, where they will view the
Mellah (p. 215), and pass round the Dar El Maglizen (p. 214) and Bu Jeliid
(p. 213); in Fez El Bali they will visit the Palace of Bu Jeliid (p. 200), the
Dar Batha and its Museum (p. 200), tho Medersa Bii Anania (p. 198), the
Place Nejjarine (p. 20S); they will walk round the Sanctuary of Miilay Idris
(p. 208), the great A'ariUimMosgwe, winding up with the extraordinary laby¬
rinth of the suks of tho Kisaria (p. 293). In order to be admitted to the
Medersas—men only—and to tho Palaoo of Bii Jeliid, special leave must
be obtained beforehand from the Subdivisio7i. An hour or two will be taken
up by a drive round the town (p. 21 (I), — The programme for a two or three
days' stay will be much the same, but that more time will be devoted to
each point of interest.
Carriages and motor cars being debarred from entering Fez El Bali, the
visit of the old town must be made on foot, or on mule-back if preferred
(20 fr. for the whole day, 10 fr. for half a day; including mule boy; enquire
of hotel-keepers).
Numbers of native guides offer their services outside the hotels; such as
are provided with the special badge issued to them by the local authorities
should be preferred.
FEZ, the capital of North Morocco, is situated on the Oued
Fez, not far from its confluence with the Oued Sebu, at an alt.
lof about 350 m., and at the point of intersection of the Imperial
•high-road that runs across Morocco from E. to W. and links up
