On this trip, we ended up spending a day and a half in the city of Fes. In the last blog post, I shared images from the largest tannery in the city. There was so much to see that I will add another day in Fes for the 2028 trip to Morocco.

While in Fez, Morocco, we were told that one of the highlights of the city tour was a visit to the local tannery, where they process the hides from cows, sheep and other animals for leather products. I was told that it was a cool thing to photograph, but had no expectations.

As it turned out, it was a VERY cool place to photograph!

When you think of Morocco, I'll bet that you don't think of Roman ruins. I know that I didn't have that on my shot list for the visit, but was happily surprised to see some amazing ruins in Volubilis. 

When working on the itinerary for the Morocco photo tour, I knew that the one city that would lend itself most to photography would be Chefchaoen, also known as morocco's "Blue City". We were definitely looking forward to getting to Chefchaoen to see if it would live up to the expectations.

After seeing the sights in Casablanca, our driver (Rachid) and guide (Ali) took us to the city of Rabat. Before visiting Morocco, I would have guessed that the capital city of Morocco would be Casablanca or Marrakesh, but I would have been wrong. The capital city is actually Rabat.
