The Best Sight in Fez and the Middle Atlas, Morocco

You may have dodged a few donkeys laden with skins from the tannery as you explore the medina, and this long-established nonprofit organization is dedicated to improving the lives of these working animals—donkeys, mules and horses—by offering support to them, their owners and vets. Visitors are welcome; just contact the fondouk to arrange a tour of the clinic and meet the animals (morning is best). Ask about the organization's new project, Mules of the Medina, a stable just a 10-minute drive from the clinic.
