Fez City in Morocco

As you arrive in Morocco you will find a pleasant experience awaiting for you . It is culturally wealthy because of it's  variety of geographical and ethnic influences which will not fail to impress.
Visiting a number of its cities and villages and experiencing the generosity of its people can leave you wanting to return, as I was, for a greater Moroccan experience.

Fez is known as the spiritual city :

The main attraction is the Ancient Medina within the vibrant new town, that has been endlessly occupied since the tenth century. It's busy with historically dressed Moroccans, and wealthy with the noise of shopping for that special treasure. Moroccans go about their daily work while bell-ringers travel up and down the narrow streets selling water.

A guided tour is the easiest way to tackle the noisy hive that is ancient city of Fez. However if you're brave, you'll discover the little alleyways, too narrow for cars while risking becoming lost and then bargaining with a young person to show you the way back out!

A visit to the center of the city will bring you to Fez’s world famous tanneries. There you will find one of the oldest art forms in the world being practiced to provide the soft animal skin needed to make leather products
of which Morocco is famous.  You’ll be given mint to cover the many smells given off throughout the process, as you look down on the fascinating tanners yard and its spectacular vats of various colored dyes and piles of skins.

The most effective viewpoint over the traditional walled town is from the ruins - Merenaide Tombs on a hill to the east of the city. From there you'll see the skyline with its richness of satellite dishes, and a general mass of palaces, green-roofed mosques and tombs,including the oldest university Karaouine mosque.

Within the depths of the ancient city sits the shrine that houses the remains of the founding father of Fez, Moulay Idriss II. It's one of the holiest tombs within the city. Non-Muslims can not enter, however you can glimpse inside and see the gravesite. The site receives constant pious visiters, primarily women, coming to burn candles and incense.
