Fes in the Night – Stuck in Customs

Fes in the Night

Recommendations

Thanks again to everyone that recommended that I go to Fes for exploration! You were right on. I loved so many cities in Morocco, but this was the biggest one I went to where I didn’t see a bunch of tourists. Marrakech seemed to have about 10x or 20x more tourists! It’s not that tourists are necessarily bad, but it does kind of take me out of the scene a bit, you know?

Daily Photo – Fes in the Night

I arrived here late at night, so this was the first thing I saw. The train ride took way longer than expected, and it is often a strange feeling to arrive at a foreign place at night. Everything has a patina of mystery and you really feel like you’re on another planet. I was happy to be up high to get a view of everything… the clouds were very low, and the pink & orange lights from the city gave everything an odd but magical glow.
