F E S

Fes – the Moroccan city with the shortest name and the longest past! Its proud residents consider Fes the spiritual and cultural capital of Morocco. Founded by Idriss I in 789 AD, Fes boasts an impressive history as Morocco’s capital several times over, and the jewel in the crown of the medieval Arab world. Bab-Bou-Jeloud

Old Fes is stereotypical exotic Morocco – narrow winding alleys, craft bazaars, food markets, mosques, medersas (theological seminaries), dye-pits and tanneries. The sights, sounds and smells of Fes will assault your senses, then arrest them and keep them prisoner. Once you have visited, you will never forget this ‘Fes’ of your life- it’s a promise!
