Upon entering, the medina’s sights, sounds, and aromas envelop visitors, setting the scene for an unforgettable journey.
- Bou Inania Madrasa - Just a short distance away, the Bou Inania Medersa stands as one of Morocco’s most exquisite theological schools. Its beautiful cedarwood carvings, marble floors, and emerald-tiled courtyard echo the stories of scholars who once sought knowledge here. Sunlight streaming through the lattice windows adds a mystical aura to this sacred place.
- Fes el-Bali - Immersing into the heart of Fes el-Bali, the city’s oldest walled section, is like entering a living museum. The winding alleys reveal spice-laden souks, artisans crafting copper, and donkeys transporting goods as they have for ages. Each corner narrates a tale of tradition preserved through time.
- Museo Nejjarine - At Musée Nejjarine, a former caravanserai now a museum, the beauty of Moroccan woodworking is unveiled. The displays feature intricate wooden doors, antique chests, and finely inlaid furniture. From the rooftop, the medina stretches below, a sea of terracotta rooftops and minarets.
- Zaouia of Moulay Idriss II - A brief stroll brings us to the Moulay Idriss Mausoleum, the resting place of Fes’s founder. Non-Muslims may not enter, but the peaceful atmosphere at its entrance is tangible. The aroma of incense lingers as worshippers gather to honor the city’s spiritual patriarch.
- Mosque and University Kairaouine - Situated within the medina, Al Quaraouiyine University, established in 859 AD, stands as a symbol of learning. This UNESCO-recognized institution has nurtured scholars for over a thousand years. The entrance showcases intricate archways and calligraphic inscriptions, highlighting Morocco’s lasting intellectual heritage.
- Place Seffarine - As one approaches Place Seffarine, the rhythmic sound of metalwork fills the air. This vibrant square hosts generations of copper artisans, crafting shiny teapots, trays, and lanterns. Their skilled hands continue a craft passed down through the ages.
- Chouara Tannery - The famous Chouara Tanneries unfold like an artist’s palette, where leather is dyed in vivid colors using traditional methods. From a high viewpoint, artisans can be seen working in the honeycomb-shaped vats, their craft a fusion of tradition, patience, and natural elements. The scent—strong yet genuine—serves as a reminder of this ancient craft.
- Borj Sud - The journey concludes with a stunning view from Borj Sud, a fortress overlooking the city. As the sun sets, Fes’s endless rooftops, minarets, and rolling hills create a postcard-perfect memory.
