Recent visitors to Fez are to be commended for arriving during Ramadan. Aside from the tour parties of French and Dutch tourists there have been some notable arrivals - intrepid German couples, a party of five New Zealander's on a tour of Medinas and a male super-model from New York.

Henry Hargreaves lives in New York, but comes originally from New Zealand. Unusually for a New Zealander he managed to break in to the international modelling world and for several years was probably the most versitile model on the world catwalks.

Here's what the critics had to say about Henry. He always seem to have something up his sleeves- even his editorial looks- they are so varied that one often wonder if the model is one and the same. Not many male models of his generation could look like that. Although quite new to modeling, he has already appeared for Kenzo, Jill Sander, YSL, and some very prestigious editorials.

Now that the Lacoste ads are displayed worldwide, the handsome Hargreaves is indeed destined for most prominence on the ramp and beyond.

Beyond is a big place and instead of leaving the industry Henry has embarked on a new career as a fashion photographer.

So? What did he think of the old Medina of Fez? He loved it and is even considering coming to Morocco to do fashion shoots.

The amazing thing about Henry was his ability to quickly find his way around the Medina. Not one to stick to the well beaten paths, he plunged in at Bab Guissa and found his way to Cinema Amal in R'cif - amazing when you think of how many people tend to get lost. One thing is certain - Henry will be back.

Another interesting visitor is a very experienced climber from Norway, who also happens to be an international airline pilot. He and his partner are visiting Fez during Ramadan and we will tell you more about them in a future story.
