Where in Fes might this be?

Post new topic

By chance does anyone have a suggestion of where to put these photos I took from a Laayoune terrance on a map?

The address ought to be '6 Zankat Rtal', Laayoune, in the Fes Medina.

Here is a view from the terrace, with what looks to me like the green tiled minaret of Zaouia Sidi Ahmed Tijani at left and the Borj Nord atop hill at right:

Turning 90^ to the right, I took this photo which seems to show the R'cif Mosque minaret at right:

I can't find a way to triangulate between the landmarks I think I see, so I could use an expert eye.

Hint: I note that Zankat Ertal and Zankat Labghal are in Laayoun here, on the most complete street map I've found.

I've yet to find a very detailed map or satellite image. Any suggestions are welcome!

This view from Riad Laayoun (47 derb Thakharbicht Rcham Laayoun, Fes El Bali, 30000) shows the same face of the Zaouia Sidi Ahmed Tijani minaret at left and the Borj Nord wall behind:

So, that seems to narrow it down, but I'm still trying to find a nice, high resolution aerial view to be able to pick out the dar in question.

I have GPS markers for photos I've taken on various visits to this dar for sale, but none of them agree and the listing agent isn't sure of the address.
