Marrakech ... on a camel to Fes?

Although 'modern' I want to go to the Palácio da Bahia. Moorish architecture with its tiles, fountains and courtyards has profoundly influenced Iberia ... not just 600 years ago, but today.

Slat Al Azama Synagogue is '3 minutes' away and I'd like to see that as well. The Moors protected the Jews. The Spaniards did not. And later and elsewhere neither did many other Christian communities. The Islamic communities in Albania, Ottoman Empire, even Egypt did much better. The Jewish community was at one time quite large. I'd also visit a mosque or three.

I'd visit any garden that was open that I could get to. Marrakech is a large city and I prefer smaller ones. The souks? I've been to more than one. I'd like to visit the one in Fes.

To get from Marrakech to Fes though ... 3 days trekking including on a camel? Perhaps.

I'd also like to see the tree climbing goats but I can't remember exactly where they were. Morocco is a very large country. And very diverse. The coastal areas aren't too overly hot but crossing the mountains into the Sahara? I'd have to carefully plan when I go. Morocco can also get very cold. And snow and ice close roads.

No balloon rides for me! Maybe by-pass Marrakech to visit Rabat, Meknes, Fes, Chefchouen and Tangiers. It's a tempting thought that I entertained when I planned my trip to Spain in March. The trip I had to cancel and lost $700. But if I hadn't I'd still be stranded there.
