"B'lak!"

That's the first and most important word you learn in the medina. "B'lak" literally means watch your back as heavily-laden donkeys plow through the narrow alleys of the medina. You may be flattened if you don't step aside quick enough. This is a place full of intense sites, sounds, smells and more copious amounts of intensity. Its intense, man.

The Fes medina is the most complex labyrinth of Morocco and it was well worth hiring a guide for the history and the possibilty to find your way home at the end of the experience.
