A wide-angle exterior view depicts the ornate gates of the Royal Palace of Fes in Mechouar Fes Jdid, Morocco, under a partially cloudy sky. The structure features light yellow walls accented with intricate Moroccan zellige tiling in shades of green, blue, and gold, arranged in geometric patterns around multiple arched doorways. Several large, golden-colored doors are visible, some within the arches. The building facades incorporate decorative cornices and columns, topped with green-tiled rooflines and a crenellated wall section on the far right. A reddish-maroon flag is flown from a flagpole positioned above the rightmost section of the palace wall. In the foreground, a large, tan-colored paved plaza extends across the scene. A multi-tiered stone planter containing green foliage and white flowers is situated in the lower-left foreground. To the left of the palace gates, a tall, light-colored wall with palm trees and leafless deciduous trees extends into the background. Several individuals are present on the plaza. Two figures, an adult in a dark coat and a child in lighter clothing, walk away from the viewer towards the left side of the scene. A small group of three to four individuals, dressed in dark clothing, stands near one of the central arched entrances, appearing to be in the process of entering or exiting. The overall lighting suggests an overcast or late afternoon setting.
