Tour Locations: Fes

Fes, situated in the north of Morocco, is one of the most ancient towns in the country. Its old medina is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, with small streets that form a maze. It’s known not only for its vernacular architecture but also for its artisanal activity: there one can find the University of Al Quaraouiyine, which was founded in 859 AD and is considered to be one of the oldest continuously operating universities in the world. This city of Fes is not just famous for its ancient learning facilities but also for traditional tanneries and dyeing places where leather is dyed in bright colors and its beautiful, intricately composed mosques and madrasa—including Bou Inania Madrasa and Kairaouine Mosque.
