Fes

The cultural capital of Morocco, Fes is an ancient UNESCO-recognized walled city on the northeastern side of Morocco. Fes is known for housing the world’s oldest university and library, which can be dated back to 859 and 1359, respectively. Everywhere you look, there is a maze of medinas, vibrant colors, mosques, tagine, madrassas, and magnificent chaos. This medieval capital is significant for the growth of high Islamic civilization and is the world’s largest urban car-free zone.

Fes is rightly regarded as Morocco’s spiritual heart owing to the numerous religious schools and Islamic scholars. In addition, it houses several craftsmen and artisans that retain its authentic crafts like intricate wood carving, hand-wrought metalsmithing and zellige tilework. Studded with hammams and museums, Fes is Morocco’s religious and spiritual centre.

Fes is an excellent holiday destination for those who want to experience the true blue Moroccan life. Moreover, its connectivity to the cultural past makes it an ideal location for history enthusiasts. The city’s multiple Islamic structures and museums make it a delightful experience for people who enjoy art and architecture.
