We arrived this evening at the Riad Fez, which is a spectacular combination of 5 separate Riads/houses. All I can say is these pictures do not do it justice. We will get more tomorrow. We left Essouira this AM and drove to Casablanca and had lunch there at a lovely seaside restaurant and then saw the magnificent mosque. This mosque is the 2nd largest in the world outside of Mecca, more pics later.
