The intellectual capital, the craft work capital, the most imperial of all cities in Morocco and pearl of the Arab World, Fes is where the senses are given truly royal treatment. The Holy City of Fez is a jewel of Spanish-Arabic civilisation. Fez does not reveal its secrets easily. Secretive, shadowy, they need to be discovered little by little, with reverence. Once known as “the well-guarded,” Fez sits in the lap of two bare, low hills and spills beyond its ramparts onto the wide and fertile plain that stretches south to the mountains of the Middle Atlas. Bustling with artisans and merchants, its captivating sounds, fragrances and colours mesmerise the visitor with a constant swirl of activity.
The city of Moulay Idriss 1st , sanctuary of human and moral sciences. The great Karaouiyne University has for eleven centuries been a religions and intellectual centre whose influence base spread far beyond the Kingdom’s boundaries.
Our visit today will include the tanners, Foundouk des tisserants, Medersa El Attarine, La Qaraouiyne, The Nejjarine Fountain, the souks (market) and a carpet co-operative. Stop at the Gate of Bab Boujloud, the ancient ramparts and the front entrance to the Royal Palace.
