Why Visit Fes, Morocco

Known as the "Mecca of the West" and the "Athens of Africa," Fes is a former Moroccan capital renowned for its ancient medinas, particularly the UNESCO-listed Fes el Bali, a must-see on your Morocco vacation itinerary.

Founded in 789, Fes boasts the best-preserved old town in the Arab world, rich in history and culture. Highlights include the University of al-Karaouine, the oldest continually operating university in the world, and the 14th-century Bou Inania madrasa, a stunning example of Islamic architecture.

The city’s fortresses, Borj Nord and Borj Sud, offer panoramic views of the medina, while the famous Bab Bou Jeloud gates, adorned with intricate Moroccan tile work, are a visual marvel. Explore the ancient maze-like streets of Fes, where you’ll find the historic Chouara and Sidi Moussa tanneries, known for their colorful leather-dying pits.

Fes also boasts one of the largest car-free urban pedestrian zones, where markets and vendors fill the streets with handicrafts, spices, and exotic dishes, offering a truly immersive experience in Morocco’s rich cultural heritage.
