Fes Médina
8.1
4.5/560 Reviews
Open year round, 24/7
夏日清风cyn:“Fez Medina, the most famous and oldest ancient city in Morocco, the first Islamic city in the history of North Africa, is a treasure of Islamic civilization and Moroccan culture. Its old city has a history of nearly 1,200 years. It is one of the largest existing typical medieval-style cities in the world. It has been the center of religion, culture and art in Morocco for more than a thousand years. It is also one of the four imperial cities of Morocco and has been listed as Entered into world cultural heritage.
The old market of Fez is so large that it is known as the largest in the world. The winding lanes of the city are the easiest to get lost in. There are more than a thousand handicraft shops, inheriting ancient and famous traditional craft techniques. Each one is set up in a very narrow maze-like lane, as if life has not changed for hundreds of years. The daily life of local residents has been integrated with religion, becoming a real-life social and humanistic museum.”

泰迪小熊:“Came here on March 4, 2019.
Fez is one of the four imperial cities in Morocco, known as "Blue Fez" because it produces a very beautiful royal blue pigment.
Bab Boujloud is the current western gate of the ancient city of Fez. It was actually built after Morocco became a French "protectorate". It is much more magnificent than the original "Old West Gate". Its outer side uses a lot of blue pigments with local characteristics, coupled with exquisite and repeated Moroccan local decorative patterns, which is especially beautiful under the sun. But what's interesting is that the inner side of this gate is green.
Many tourists enter the ancient city of Fez from this gate. You can pay attention to this beautiful gate before entering the city.”
Fez Tannery Tour and Shopping
6.9
4.4/592 Reviews
Open today at 09:00-19:00
chinadesk1:“The colorful dye vats, the unpleasant smells, and the dazzling array of leather products are the reasons why tourists come to visit. Only with a tour guide can you go to the classic dyeing workshop and see the traditional leather factory. Although the process seems a bit simple, the scene is suitable for taking pictures, especially some of the products are very delicate.”
Mosque and University of al-Qarawiyyin
6.1
5.0/521 Reviews
Open today at 08:15-21:55
诗意情节:“The Al-Qarawi Mosque is worth a visit, it has an exotic and historical charm. There are Muslim mosques everywhere in the city, but we were not allowed to enter. There is also the Al-Qarawi Mosque University, the oldest university in the world”
The Royal Palace of Fez

4.2/513 Reviews
Historic buildings
Open year round, 24/7
sculptor:“The King's Palace in Fes can be traced back to the foundations of the Royal Castle of the Marigned Dynasty in 1276. Most of the palaces today date back to the 17th to 20th centuries. The most visible part of the palace is the ornate 20th century gate.”
Mausoleum of Moulay Idriss II
5.5
3.0/510 Reviews
Open year round, 24/7
狮子国女王:“Idris Mausoleum is located in Fez. It is the first Islamic Shiite dynasty established by Arabs in North Africa in the Middle Ages. The founder, Moulay Idris, founded the Idris dynasty in 788. In 793, he was poisoned by spies sent by the Abbasid dynasty and buried here. The small town got its name from this and is called the Holy City. In the minds of Muslims, it has the highest and most supreme status.”

Jessigz:“This seminary has a very Islamic style. The student dormitories are very small, and the entire seminary is not big either, but the architecture is very exquisite.”

Jessigz:“We stayed at the hotel next door, and it took a few minutes to walk there. We went there in the morning and met two policemen on horseback coming to work. It's free. The cemetery is just a ruin, and it's even more solemn under the morning sun. Maybe this is a place with good feng shui, and all the way down the mountain are cemeteries for ordinary people.”

Tablet666:“🇲🇦 Chevshavan in Morocco is really intriguing at first sight ❤️! This town is like a color palette that God has knocked over, and every place is beautiful. Walking in the blue alley, just taking a picture is a postcard 📸. Every house and every door have their own story waiting for you to discover. The pace of life here is slow, and people can't help but want to live here for a while and feel this tranquility and beauty. #Shefshavan #Morocco Travel #Blue Town”Where to stay
