Sometimes we forget that visitors to Fez might want to purchase something from a supermarket that they can't find in the souqs. There are several supermarkets to choose from, but possibly the best and easiest is Marjane.
From the Medina it is a fifteen minute taxi ride and should cost just under twenty dirhams.
Marjane has a huge range of merchandise that includes not only the normal supermarket items, but electrical appliances, computer supplies, sporting equipment, clothes and a large wine and liquor outlet. A point to remember if you want to bring alcohol in the medina, do wrap bottles and carry them discretely as some taxi drivers will refuse to carry you if they see alcohol in your bags
On a recent trip we were searching for a camera tripod and found that Marjane actually had choice of models.
You will find a cash machine (ATM) as well as several specialist shops including a good pharmacy. There is also a small cafe that serves good panni that is worth trying if you need a snack.
To find a taxi to return to the Medina, walk to the end of the building ( past the toilets) and you will find a taxi stand.
