About Fez

Fès er Marokkos gamle kejserstad og kulturelle hjerte, med en enorm ommuret medina af stræder, souker, garverier og middelalderlige koranskoler.

Fes el-Bali, den gamle medina, er et UNESCO-verdensarvssted og en levende middelalderby, hvor æsler og håndkærrer stadig bærer varer gennem smalle stræder. Dens mest kendte indgang, Bab Bou Jeloud med sine blå og grønne fliser, fører ind i en labyrint af souker, springvand og gamle karavanserajer.
