In my opinion the best way to start a holiday in a new-to-me country - getting lost in the alleyways of the old town of a city, being led by smell, color and noise to find something interesting behind every corner, being offered dates and olives on the market, being welcomed into houses and schools, making contact with the locals with a few words of French or Arabic, getting lost, walking in circles and most importantly, sitting down having a tea or coffee on the street (mint tea in the case of Morocco) and soaking up the atmosphere...vacation at its best, at least in my opinion.
The Median of Fez had it all...we got lost all the time, sampled a lot of different Moroccan food and had enough sweetened mint tea to make our teeth rot! The best!
