The Unexpected in Fes

Scribble Like a Scholar

The Unexpected

Fancy yourself as a bit of a scribe? Get your quill (or, more likely, a pen) ready and learn the ancient art of Arabic calligraphy. Swirl and flick your way to creating beautiful scripture that'll impress even the toughest critics. And don't worry if your handwriting is usually more chicken scratch than charming – this is all about the flourish!

Jam Out with Gnawa Musicians

The Unexpected

Get your groove on with some Gnawa musicians and experience a spiritual music genre that's all about infectious rhythms and hypnotic chants. Let your hair down, grab an instrument, and join in on a jam session that'll have your soul dancing and your hips shaking. Just try not to step on any toes – both literally and musically!

Be a Carpet Connoisseur

The Unexpected

Think you've got an eye for the finest threads? Put your taste to the test and dive into the world of Moroccan rugs and carpets. Learn about the symbols, the stories, and the squillions of knots that go into making each one. And remember, it's not just a carpet – it's a tapestry of history you can trample on (gently, with respect).

Embroidery Extravaganza

The Unexpected
