Being a Thursday, The View from Fez team went in search of the nearest country souk (market) near Fez. The village souks are held on specific days each week and are usually named for the day on which they are held. The Hamria Thursday souk was only 40 minutes drive from Fez and a great place to spend the morning
 |
| The scenery was an amazing mix of fertile plains and barren hills |
 |
| Thankfully, we eventually found a sign indicating the way to Hamria |
 |
| Climbing up to the village gave us views of the fertile valley below |
 |
| The farmyard architecture comprised low adobe courtyards |
 |
| Eventually Hamria came into view |
 |
| The town entrance |
 |
| Hundreds of butterflies were swarming the town - at times looking like snow! |
 |
| The souk was a hive of activity |
 |
| The meat was great quality, cheap and very fresh |
 |
| It is hard to imagine what was NOT on sale! |
 |
| A "swak" (teeth cleaning bark) seller with a customer |
 |
| Want a repair? No problem. We saw a dentist pulling teeth. He declined to be photographed! |
 |
| Finally time to sit and have a glass of mint tea and some kefta |
 |
| And, on the way home, a different view of Fez |
