Day 31: Casablanca - Fes


Probably less happened today than on any day of the trip so far. Took the train from Casablanca to Fes; between my getting to the station far too early and the train being late, that took up the bulk of the day. Casablanca - Fes is much more scenic than Marrakesh - Casablanca; quite Mediterranean, actually looked just like South Australia sometimes.
Arrived in Fes and checked into the hostel whereupon a familiar face appeared behind me - Nancy, who I met yesterday.
Wandered Fes’s Ville Nouvelle for the rest of the afternoon / evening, because the hostel closed from 4 to 8 and I couldn’t go to the medina. Fes’s Ville Nouvelle is the nicest of the three so far; broad avenues, plenty of trees, and comparatively little rubbish.
Spent ages looking for somewhere to eat, and again, the only thing I found open was a place serving that Ramadan fast-breaking dinner. Still, it’s cheap, tasty and filling, so what’s not to like about that?

There are several major cities where capital growth has been at its highest – most notably, Casblanca, Fes, Marrakech and Tangier. In the 21st century, Morocco is the country on the African continent that is experiencing one of the fastest growing and fastest paced real estate markets in the region. There are a number of reasons why Morocco and especially Casablanca property is so profitable investment, chief amongst them is the fact that Morocco has stability for an long period of time.
