Fez City

Overview: 

Fes, the cultural and spiritual heart of Morocco, is a city where history, tradition, and craftsmanship come alive. Known for its ancient medina — one of the largest and best-preserved medieval cities in the world — Fes offers travelers an authentic journey through time. Its maze-like streets, centuries-old monuments, and vibrant souks create an atmosphere unlike anywhere else in the country.

The UNESCO-listed Fes el-Bali medina is the city’s crown jewel, home to historic madrasas, bustling markets, and skilled artisans working with leather, copper, pottery, and textiles. Visit the iconic Al Quaraouiyine University, considered one of the oldest universities in the world, and the beautifully restored Bou Inania Madrasa, a masterpiece of Marinid architecture.

Fes is also famous for its Chouara Tannery, where traditional leather-making techniques have been preserved for generations. A stroll through its viewpoints offers colorful, unforgettable scenes. Beyond the medina, the modern city provides parks, cafés, and cultural institutions that show Fes’ balance between heritage and contemporary life.

Rich in culture, spirituality, craftsmanship, and history, Fes is one of Morocco’s most captivating destinations — a place where every corner tells a story.
