Globetrotting December 2025 # 1 - Morocco Madrassa Attarine Fes.
In part as an antidote to the dark days of December and to the onset of Christmas, I thought I would retrieve from the archives a few mixed travel shots to post this month. I did the same thing last December; I think I visited eight countries. It will be interesting to see how many countries I can fit in before the end of the year, but it will be more than eight.
The first stop will be in the city of Fes, Morocco. We visited Fes in March 2005. The Al-Attarine Madrasa is a madrasa near the Al-Qarawiyyin Mosque. It was built by the Marinid sultan Uthman II Abu Said in 1323-5. The madrasa takes its name from the Souk al-Attarine, the spice and perfume market. It is considered one of the highest achievements of Marinid architecture due to its rich and harmonious decoration and its efficient use of limited space.
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT TO MY STREAM.
I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL IF YOU COULD NOT FAVE A PHOTO
WITHOUT ALSO LEAVING A COMMEN
