About Fès

Fès, ancienne capitale impériale et cœur culturel du Maroc : vaste médina fortifiée de ruelles, de souks, de tanneries et de médersas médiévales.

Fès el-Bali, la vieille médina, est inscrite au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO et reste une ville médiévale vivante où des ânes et des charrettes à bras transportent encore les marchandises dans d'étroites ruelles. Sa porte la plus connue, Bab Bou Jeloud, aux carreaux bleus et verts, mène à un dédale de souks, de fontaines et d'anciens caravansérails.
