About Fez

Fez is Marokko's oude keizerstad en culturele hart, met een enorme medina vol steegjes, soeks, leerlooierijen en middeleeuwse koranscholen.

Fes el-Bali, de oude medina, is een UNESCO-werelderfgoed en een levende middeleeuwse stad waar ezels en handkarren nog steeds goederen door smalle steegjes vervoeren. De bekendste toegangspoort, de Bab Bou Jeloud met zijn blauwe en groene tegels, leidt naar een doolhof van soeks, fonteinen en oude karavanserais.
