This is a new blog so just getting to grips with the process but suffice to say I along with some partners-in-investment (www.mrthq.com) have bought recently the old Mernissi house near the Mnebi palace in Talaa Sigheera. One of the most famous Mernissi family members is the literary lioness Fatema Mernissi who is a best selling author worldwide and a radical feminist. Having grown up in a harem in Fes in the 1940´s probably had some influence on her later perception of women´s role in a Muslim world!! Check out the novel chronicling those childhood years "Dreams of Trespass".
Having fallen in love (haven´t we all) with the houses, people and character of the Fes Medina this blog will be a personal representation of our experiences. We are soon to be interviewed by a British lifestyle magazine this year to follow our progress in the renovation of this historic Fassi house
