Fès Mosque
Travelling down the Tala'a Kbira you will eventually come to the famous Qayrawin Mosque and ancient University of Al-Qarawiyin. The university was built between 859 and 862, which makes it the oldest university in the world. It was founded by a Tunisian refugee - a woman by the name of Fatima bint Mohammed ben Feheri.
The Fès Tanneries
I am sure that every single tourist who has ever been to Fès has a variation on this picture. At one stage we considered buying an old riad next to the tanneries. It was an extraordinary example of a classical riad, but the smell was enough to pickle your nostrils.
