Dar el-Makhzen, detail

This is a detail of one of the doors to Dar el-Makhzen, the royal palace, in the Fes el-Jedid, meaning New Fes or White Fes, quarter, which was established in 1276. The king of Morocco stays here when he visits the city, and in fact was visiting the day this picture was taken. I didn’t get to see him, unfortunately.

A full view of the doors:

Nikon D810 ,Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED
1/320s f/5.6 at 56.0mm iso200 full exif
