Our hotel, Riad El Yacout, was just inside the medina, and even with directions we missed it to start with. Nothing inside the medina looks fancy from the outside - you have to go in to see the wealth and the beauty. The Fes medina was all it was billed - a vast maze of narrow and narrower alley ways connecting houses, shops, mosques, workshops, restaurants, tanneries, life. All bustling with people and donkeys. And the roofs covered in thousands of satellite TV dishes!
