"Fes or Fez - Most Ancient Imperial City in Morocco" Wilaya de Fes by Zlur

Wilaya de Fes Travel Guide: 190 reviews and 386 photos

FES is the most ancient Imperial Capital and most complete medieval city of not only Morocco but of the Arab world! FES is a place that takes you back in time; with it's cobbled dusty paths, simple life and preffered donkey transportation as opposed to vehicles! It stimulates your senses with it's incredible open-air markets and souks, spices, fresh herbs, mint leaves, Moroccan cuisine, incence and more...

Like all other Moroccan cities, Fes has a French-built Ville Nouvelle - familiar and modern with its numerous cafe's, restaurants, royal palaces, gardens, hotels and yes, Mc. Donalds! :) But a whopping of 800,000 inhabitants continue to live in the Medina-city of Fes el Bali (old city) and this is where you will want to spend most of your time getting lost in the winding souks and alleys.
