This place is also said to be one of the largest pedestrian zones in the world. Here, you will also find tanneries. Fez is famous for its leather, and leather production methods. It is even possible to go to the viewpoint, from where the tanneries are clearly visible. Outside the Medina lies the newest part of Fez, it is another world, comprised of modern shops and busy traffic.  Driving cars and motorcycles is forbidden in Medina, so local people use animals for transportation, mostly donkeys. You should also be aware of fraudsters who rob tourists. Most of them pretend to be “tour guides”, tell stories, ask questions, and in the end ask for bakshish.
