Highlights
  • Fontaine Nejjarine - The Nejjarine Museum of Arts and Crafts and see traditional tools used by artisans, carpets, barbarians, and musical instruments
  • Bab Bou Jeloud - Bab Bou Jeloud (also spelled Bab Boujeloud or Bab Boujloud) is an ornate city gate in Fes el Bali, the old city of Fez, Morocco. The current gate was built by the French colonial administration in 1913 to serve as the grand entrance to the old city.
  • Kairaouine Mosque (Mosque of al-Qarawiyyin) - Established in 859, the Kairaouine is the spiritual heart of Fez and, arguably, all Morocco. It is also considered the world’s oldest university, though it began as a simple medersa (school for studying the Quran), funded by Fatima Al Fihria, a member of an elite family who emigrated from the Tunisian city of Kairouan.
  • Chouara Tannery - Chouara Tannery (sometimes spelled Chouwara) is one of the three tanneries in the city of Fez, Morocco. It is the largest tannery in the city and one of the oldest. It is located in Fes el Bali, the oldest medina quarter of the city, near the Saffarin Madrasa along the Oued Fes (also known as the Oued Bou Khrareb).
  • Palais Royal Dar El Makhzen - is the palace of the King of Morocco in the city of Fez, Morocco. Its original foundation dates back to the foundation of Fes el-Jdid (“New Fez”), the royal citadel of the Marinid dynasty, in 1276 CE. Most of the palace today dates from the ‘Alawi era (17th-20th centuries). The vast grounds are home to multiple private structures, patios, and gardens, but historically also included administrative offices and government tribunals. Today, the most publicly visible parts of the palace are its main entrances at the Old Mechouar (to the northeast) and the highly ornate 20th-century gates at Place des Alaouites, near the Mellah (to the southwest).
  • Aben Danan Synagogue - is a synagogue in Fes, Morocco, dating from the 17th century. The synagogue is located in the Mellah district within Fes el-Jdid, one of the components of the historic medina of Fes.
  • Fez Mellah - is the historic Jewish quarter (Mellah) of Fez, Morocco. It is located in Fes el-Jdid, the part of Fez which contains the Royal Palace (Dar al-Makhzen), and is believed to date from the mid-15th century.
  • Borj Sud - Borj Sud, a Saadian-era fortress in Fes, on the hills overlooking the old city from the south. It was built around the same time as Borj Nord, although it does not have the same “star” layout as the latter.
