Fez, located in the northeastern part of Morocco, is often hailed as the nation’s cultural heart. It is chiefly renowned for its fortified medina Fez El Bali, a zone showcasing centuries-old Merinid architecture, bustling marketplaces, and an overall antiquated ambiance. This medina serves as a hub for religious academies. As the cradle of traditional Moroccan culture, the city is especially known for its exquisite medersas. As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the fortified city offers a journey back into the medieval era. The entrance to the Bab Bou-Jeloud district, a part of the medina, is marked by a large, earthenware-adorned door from 1913, with blue and green—the city’s official colors. Within this district, one can explore the Bar Batah museum that offers an insight into the city’s Arts and Traditions. Further, a guided tour can be arranged for the cultural and historical medina of Fez, straight from your place of stay. The city is also a great place to shop for local handicrafts.
