Fes is Morocco’s cultural and spiritual heart, home to the world’s oldest university and a medina so perfectly preserved it feels like stepping back in time. The Fes el-Bali medina is the largest car-free urban zone in the world, a UNESCO treasure of 9,000 narrow alleyways.
Here, traditional craftsmen continue techniques unchanged for centuries. The famous tanneries, the intricate zellige tilework, the brass and leather workshops – Fes offers a window into Morocco’s artisanal soul that no other city can match.
