Fez

Fez, located in northeastern Morocco, is renowned for its historic significance and cultural heritage. The city is home to the world-famous University of Al Quaraouiyine, the oldest existing, continually operating higher educational institution. Fez is divided into three distinct parts: Fes el Bali, the ancient walled city; Fes Jdid, the new town which includes the Jewish quarter; and the modern Ville Nouvelle. The medina of Fes el Bali, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a labyrinth of narrow streets lined with traditional markets, or souks, where artisans create and sell their crafts.

The city is also famous for its leather tanneries, providing insight into traditional tanning methods. Fez offers various accommodation options, from traditional riads to modern hotels, catering to different preferences.
