Fes
Home to the world’s oldest university, Fes has been a center of culture, religion, spirituality, and learning in Morocco, with many mosques and libraries that are a testament to its long standing islamic history and architecture.
Fes' old medina, or Fes el-Bali, is a walled medina that embodies the city’s rich past, with its narrow winding streets and historic buildings, an enchanting heritage, offering a glimpse into a time long past. In contrast, Fes el-Jdid, the more modern district known as the new Fes, offers a glimpse into the city’s evolving future.
The city is known for its abundance of fountains, especially in the old medina. There are believed to be over 200 fountains scattered throughout Fes, many of which are beautifully decorated and serve as both functional and aesthetic features. These fountains are an integral part of Fes' charm, adding to its serene and historic atmosphere. Both offer unique experiences and insights into the city's evolution.
Fes is a gastronomic delight, offering a variety of traditional Moroccan dishes. Its specialties include but not limited to pastilla, a savory-sweet pie, and mechoui, slow-roasted lamb, often enjoyed with freshly baked bread. Every year, Fes hosts the renowned Fes Festival of World Sacred Music, which draws performers and visitors from around the world to celebrate music, spirituality, and culture.
Visit Fes, where the echoes of the past harmonise with the rhythms of the present creating an unforgettable experience.
