Travelling Morocco - Part 2

 

So, we awake!!  And the first thing after awake, breakfast. Well this time for kids, only. It was Ramadan, therefore for me breaking fast needs a little while. 

 Anyway we went out, opting for familiar choices, and stopped at a Carrefour supermarket to pick up some bakery items. Curious about local food prices, I explored the back of the supermarket to experience the country's protein consumption capacity. The prices appeared similar to those in Europe, with lamb costing around €14 per kilo and beef ranging from €8 to €14. These prices seemed quite high to me, and the same was true for cheese.


Later, while speaking with our driver in Fes, he confirmed that there has been a 40-50% price inflation for groceries post-Covid.

Then we visited the Medina. In Arabic, "Medina" means "city." As seeing here that,  the whole city is enclosed by the wall, seems to me this is the protection wall for the city.
