Morocco:best things to do in fes

Image
Fes overwhelms the senses: it's colourful, noisy, doused in scent and inhabited by a lot of people vying for your attention - so you need to srrive armed with an idea of the best things to do in Fes so as not to let them sidetrack you! The best things to do in Fes for some people is visiting the medieval medina: it's like nowhere else on earth when it comes to shopping: swamped with olive dealers, water sellers and veiled women from the ancient tanneries to the quiet of the madrasas, many of them architectural wonders. The medina has over 90,000 streets and alleyways so the best things to do in Fes Medina is to go with a guide, asking them to take you to the places you're most interested in seeing - Souk Triba has cosmetic and electronics shops, Souk Tallis, is good for wool, wheat and cloth, Souk Selham and the few surrounding it all sell material and haberdashery, but for a really special outfit, and one of the best things to do in Fes you should hop over to Chemmaine Sou...

A tour of Marrakesh

Image
I had a chance to go on a great tour of Marrakesh a few days ago.  We hit all the major tourist sites, which of course I almost never do, but I should because it was an enriching and beautiful experience.  It renewed my connection with this city that I’ve called home for so long.  I’m sorry I’m not great with dates and history, if I don’t take notes then it evaporates almost instantaneously off the surface of my brain.  Not to mention the late, late hour that the blogging itch strikes me, which is not a peak time for cerebral activity.  I’m going to have to fall back on good old “a picture is worth a thousand words”. But let me just say this, these places are beautiful in and of themselves.  And if you can find a great guide to connect you with the richness of Moroccan history, so much the better. These first two photos are at  Medrasa Ben Yousef,  which was one of the first examples of governmentally institutionalized learning in 1550.   Bef...

Kaftan: the pride of Moroccan women

Image
Morocco World NrwsCasablanca, April 11, 2013“Many inspiring women have shown me how such a garment is created somewhere between fantasy and reality,” wrote Sonia Maria in an article of hers published on NJAL, an online fashion platform. The “garment” that Maria refers to is the Moroccan majestic dress, the Kaftan. Her description flawlessly matches the proprieties of this charming Moroccan attire.  Between “fantasy” and “reality,” the Kaftan stands out as a composite amalgamation of subtle and luxurious fabrics, composite designs and shapes, and an artist’s personal perspective of women’s beauty and femininity.To start, the Kaftan is to be distinguished from the Djellaba. The latter is traditionally recognized for featuring a hood, whereas the former does not. The Kaftan is basically a hoodless Djellaba. For it is commonly worn during special occasions, the Kaftan tends to be more elaborate and intricate in its designs than the Djellaba.  This however does ...

Traditional clothes and children In Morocco, the opportunities that we celebrate with family abound. If adults are spoiled for choice of evening gowns, tuxedos and lavish caftans, our children always depend on us and pageantry account as that of adults. At a time when traditions are full perdition and customs no longer have children, it is important to keep the traditional as unforgettable and dearest to the hearts of our little habit. Some have understood this and take advantage of various opportunities to offer their most beautiful cherub holding beldi. Whether a caftan, a jabadour or just a tunic or vest ... there's something for everyone, for all ages and stylists are full of creativity to provide the best for children. Siham Habti, best known for the high adult sewing, said: "It is true that beldi expensive and it pushes some mothers choose not to dress as favorite small especially as children grow quickly and that Exhibit ' not long range.

Moroccan Dress: Jellaba, Caftan or Takchita?

Image
Moroccan Dress: Jellaba, Caftan or Takchita?    Well, writing about Haja Hamdaouia's style made me want to write about Moroccan traditional dress… but if I really want to write about it, it will be the longest blog ever because there is a LOT to say! But that's not the case so, here is some information   Moroccan traditional dress is centuries old, has undergone many changes, and varies from region to region. We usually agree on the fact that Caftan is the traditional dress, but if we take into consideration the Amazigh tribes, the Eastern part of Morocco, as well as the Arab nomads and desert inhabitants, it turns out that we have many Moroccan traditional dresses. Let us just say, the most famous and most popular Moroccan dress tends to be a Jellaba, for daily use, and Caftan, for celebrations. Caftan itself is divided into two types, Caftan, which is one piece dress, and "Takcheeta", which is Caftan plus an upper layer known as "Dfeena". Caftan is for min...

Moroccan traditional Clothes

Image
Moroccan traditional Clothes Yes, this picture can give you just a simple idea about Moroccan traditional clothes. Of course, Moroccans do not wear them everyday because they are not practical at all, but they occasionally wear them when they are invited to a wedding or a birth party, and i personnally wear them while organizing Musical parties for differente occasions and in many different places such as Raid Zany where I worked as an assistant and a hostess . Making such wonderful clothes is not very difficult, since all that you have to do to get one or some like this , is to go to the Medina buy pieces of cloth and take them to a tailor who will take your size and start working on it straight a way. it may take 1 or 2 weeks maximum to make them then all that is left to do is to wear them and feel Moroccan. So if you have a nice place in Fez City and you would like to start organizing traditional or Sufi Musical parties,or you have some question about how to make clothes like this ,...
