Fès

Fès, one of Morocco’s oldest and most culturally significant cities, is renowned for its well-preserved medieval architecture and rich history. Founded in the 9th century, Fès is home to the world’s oldest continuously operating university, Al Quaraouiyine. The city is divided into two main parts: Fès el-Bali (the old city) and Fès el-Jdid (the new city). Fès el-Bali, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a labyrinth of narrow, winding streets filled with bustling markets, traditional tanneries, and historic madrasas. The city’s intricate architecture, vibrant souks, and deep-rooted cultural traditions make Fès a fascinating destination for travelers seeking an authentic Moroccan experience.
