Fes: The Unmissable Medina and Imperial Treasures
Explore the heart of Morocco’s spiritual and cultural capital through Fès el-Bali, a car-free urban labyrinth dating back to the 8th century. This collection highlights the city's architectural heritage, from the intricate brass doors of the Royal Palace to the 9th-century Kairaouine Mosque and University. Discover traditional industries at the ancient leather tanneries and view the city’s sprawling skyline from the hilltop Merenid Tombs or the Borj Nord fort. Museums like Dar Batha showcase refined Moroccan craftsmanship within former palace walls, while the Mausoleum of Moulay Idriss II marks the sacred center of the medina.
