A more complete view. We're staying in the newest part of the city. Most ancient cities in Morocco comprise a central old city called a Medina and a newer part of the city or more properly "Ville Nouvelle", most often built by the French. Medinas are typically surrounded by tall walls and have a dizzying labyrinth of narrow streets. Fes actually has three sections. The third is called "Fes el Djedid" meaning "Fes the New" which is actually older than the Ville Nouvelle.
