Bewitching city in northeastern Morocco, Fez has always been considered, since its founding in 789, as one of the most emblematic cities of the country. Declared the official capital on several occasions, especially in the Middle Ages and the 19th century, today its status as cultural and spiritual capital gives it its aura.
Fez is mainly known for its fortified medina, Fes El Bali. It is in the heart of this city within the city that heritage treasures are hidden. Between the lively souks and the fondouks, which contain wonders of craftsmanship, the visitor is promised a somewhat confusing festival of colors and scents. The old town - the medina - is also home to religious schools dating back to the 14th century, the architecture of which is well worth lingering for a while.
Fez is undoubtedly a city where it is good to walk. Fez El Bali can indeed boast of being the largest car-free zone in the whole world. And, when the traveler wishes to detach himself for a moment from the enthusiasm of the souks, he can stroll through the green hills surrounding the city. It is there, on the heights, that are the tombs of the last sultans of the Mérinides.
