Erected in the XIIth century by the Almohads, Bab Boujloud is one of the most beautiful gates of the medina of Fez with its blue and green tiles and cedar and carved stucco.

The two main arteries leaving this door: Tallâa Kbira and Tallâa Sghira.

The royal palace was built in the thirteenth century under the reign of Mérinides Dynasty in the heart of Fes El Jadid, district adjacent to the Old City. The royal palace, Dar Al Makhzen, spans an incredible field of 80 ha, including a madrasa founded in 1320, a mosque, a parade and huge gardens. Closed to visitors, the palace opens to the place of Alawites, vast esplanade appointed in 1968, from which we can nevertheless admire the majestic carved in copper, major work done by a craftsman in 1960 Fassi.
4. Fez Mellah
Located just outside the royal palace in Fes El Jadid, the Mellah is considered the oldest Jewish quarter in Morocco. He welcomed the Jews nationals who fled the Spanish Inquisition. It was established, according to historians, in 1438 in the old Kasbah of Syrian archers Sultan. Deserted by most of the Jewish families who emigrated Fez, the mellah today is inhabited by Muslim families. The area still keeps the architecture and borrows the Jewish community that lived there for centuries. It still houses a synagogue and a Jewish cemetery.

The mosque, university and library Al Quaraouiyine was built in 857 on the Quairouanaise bank of Fez el-Bali by the rich heiress Tunisian Fatima Al Fihri during the reign of Idrissides. The Quaraouiyine which is the first university in the Arab world (some say the world tout court), was the scientist and scholar of the Muslim civilization crossroads. Famous thinkers, intellectuals and scholars have stayed. One can quote the historian Ibn Khaldoun, the poet and writer Ibn Al Khatib, the philosopher Averroes (Ibn Rushd), the explorer and traveler Leo Africanus (the thinker Hassan), etc. The university hosted over 300 students taking courses taught by renowned professors at the time, and this in different disciplines such as notaries, justice, grammar, theology, astronomy, etc. From the tenth century, the university has a library of over 30,000 books, including 10,000 manuscripts.

Between the Souk Al Attarine Nejjarine and instead, stands majestically Foundouk Nejjarine, built in the eighteenth century during the reign of Sultan Moulay Ismail. Originally, this magnificent building was designed as a warehouse of goods and trading. The fondouk also used as a warehouse for the valuables belonging to the Makhzen. In the forties, it was erected in a police station. Foundations, ceilings, floors and walls then began to deteriorate. It took six years to rehabilitate this large building. The restoration started in 1990 concerned the whole site: fondouk itself, instead Nejjarine, the fountain, the mosque. The Moorish-style site architecture was meticulously saved. Currently the fondouk houses the Musée des Arts et Métiers Wood managed by Mohammed Karim Lamrani Foundation.

Madrasah Bou Inania is the school of theological sciences most visited by tourists in Fez. Built in the fourteenth century during the reign of the Merinid dynasty by Sultan Abou El Hassan, the madrasa Bou Inania is characterized by its minaret, its glazed earthenware mosaics and its fabulous wooden ceiling of carved cedar. In front of the madrasa, one can admire the famous hydraulic clock of the Bou Inania dating from 1357. This water clock is an artistic and technical masterpiece dating from 1357. Several attempts at restoration have succeeded in vain. Madrasah Bou Inania is open to visitors every day from 8:30 to 12:00 (except on Fridays from 8:30 am to 11 am) and 14:30 to 18:30.
11. Cooperative Artisanal de Fes
ocated within the high walls of the city’s historic medina, entering the souks of Fez is like stepping back in time to the medieval period. The narrow streets twist and turn like a maze, with stores and shops lining the tangle of alleyways. Covering one of the world’s largest car-free areas, the cacophony of sounds, blend of unknown aromas, rich colours, and thronging crowd of people certainly stimulate the senses. It’s normal for first-time visitors to feel rather overwhelmed!
12. Fes
Back to Casablanca, then board a private vehicle for the (294-km.) trip to fes. 3 Hours 30 Minutes

The tour was amazing start to finish. We had an amazing and friendly driver who accompanied us the whole day, and a knowledgeable guide in Fez who took us through the intricate maze of the medina. Leading us to discover beautiful locations and views that would not be possible with a local guide. It was a perfect way to spend the day if you are in Casablanca and wanted to discover a more authentic Moroccan experience other than the chaotic hustle and bustle of Marrakech.
