Ville Nouvelle country and other Fes, Morocco Off The Beaten Path Tips

The ville nouvelle is lovely to me. It doesn't have any of the feel of ancient mystery or magic but it has great examples of creativity in commercial architecture in Fes and an island of country, which brings us to this tip. If you are staying at or near the Grand Hotel near the garden a short walk will take you to this stretch of country. It is where I run every morning...

Catch a grand taxi outside of Fes (about 130 Dh for the whole cab unless others are going out that way) and experience the intensity of Moulay Bouchta. This is not a bright little tourist town with everyone jumping to greet you. This town has the feel of a Riffian stronghold; proud, independent, and brave. Timing your visit to the Moussem of Moulay Bouchta (before Ramadan) would be ideal but anytime of the year would be good hiking and exploring for this small town.

Moulay Bouchta is, of course, a village of itself - and indeed, not connected to Fes. Because of it's proximity to Fes, I listed it here for those die hard hikers who are ready for more after Zalagh.

It's dark, scary and a bit dangerous.

So, cross yourself and plunge into the cave-like medina of Fes.

Anything could happen and that's what will make it fun to do at 1 in the morning.

* This is only for the fit, the bold and the reckless. Don't do it if your big idea of life is just living it.
