Fez

Fez is the spiritual and cultural heart of Morocco, a place where ancient traditions are still very much alive. The medina, or old city, is one of the largest and best-preserved in the world, and it’s a fantastic place to wander, getting lost in its narrow streets and alleys. The tanneries, where leather is dyed in a rainbow of colors, are a must-see, as is the Bou Inania Madrasa, one of the most beautiful Islamic schools in the country. Don’t miss the Souk El Attarine, a market where you can buy all sorts of treasures, from carpets and jewelry to spices and olives. Fez is also a great place to eat, with plenty of delicious Moroccan dishes on offer.
