Explore Fes — home to the oldest mellah in Morocco (1438), the magnificent Ibn Danan Synagogue, and a Jewish heritage spanning six centuries of scholarship and trade.
Fes is one of Morocco's most captivating destinations, rich in history, culture, and natural beauty.
Fes is Morocco's oldest imperial city and its spiritual and cultural heart. The ancient Fes el-Bali medina, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is the world's largest car-free urban area — a labyrinth of over 9,000 narrow alleyways filled with vibrant souks, historic mosques, and hidden riads. The University of Al Quaraouiyine, founded in 859 AD, is recognized by UNESCO and Guinness World Records as the oldest continuously operating degree-granting university in the world. Fes is also renowned for its tanneries, particularly Chouara Tannery, where leather has been dyed using traditional methods for over a thousand years.
