the Ancient Fes

the Ancient Fes

Fez is one of the most beautiful ancient cities in Morocco, where modernity blends wonderfully with ancient traditions. The medina of Fez, known as the Old City (Fes el-Bali), is one of the oldest Islamic cities in the world and houses one of the oldest universities in history, the University of Al-Qarawiyyin.

You can feel the history around every corner of Fez's alleys, as you wander between narrow souks and traditional craft workshops such as weaving, pottery and leather. Leathercrafting is one of the most popular industries here, and it's worth a visit to the leather market to discover how leather is hand-coloured and finished.

Medina: Where History Comes Alive
