Fes

The spiritual capital — the world's oldest continuously inhabited walled city.

Overview Fes is Morocco's center of heritage and learning — its old medina (Fes el-Bali) is the largest car-free urban area in the world. Best time to visit March-May and September-November — summer gets very hot inside the medina's narrow alleys. Top sights - University of al-Qarawiyyin, the oldest continuously operating university in the world - The Chouara traditional leather tanneries - Bou Inania Madrasa - Bab Boujloud, the medina's famous gate Food & restaurants Fes is known for authentic Moroccan cuisine — try pastilla and pigeon tagine, ideally in a restored riad inside the medina for an authentic setting.
