Fes
Fes is Morocco’s oldest imperial city and a living museum of history, culture, and tradition. Known as the spiritual capital of the country, Fes is home to one of the world’s oldest universities, a maze-like medina, and centuries-old artisan quarters that still operate today. Walking through the narrow lanes of Fes el-Bali, you’ll encounter vibrant souks, ancient tanneries, historic madrasas, and stunning palaces that showcase the city’s rich heritage.
The medina’s energy feels timeless—donkeys carry goods through the alleyways, craftsmen shape leather, metal, and wood using traditional methods, and calls to prayer echo from beautifully decorated mosques. With its deep cultural roots, sacred atmosphere, and exceptional architecture, Fes offers an immersive journey into authentic Moroccan life.
