Fes

Fes (or Fez) is one of Morocco’s oldest imperial cities, founded in the late 8th century. It’s renowned for its massive, UNESCO-listed medieval medina (Fes el-Bali)—the world’s largest car-free urban area—packed with historic mosques, madrasas, souks, and famous tanneries. Often called Morocco’s spiritual and cultural capital, it’s a living museum of Islamic architecture and traditions.
