Fez

La Universidad Al-Qarawiyyin en Fez, Marruecos, está reconocida por la UNESCO y los Récords Guinness como la universidad más antigua en existencia y en funcionamiento continuo del mundo, fundada en el año 859 d.C. por Fatima al-Fihri, una mujer musulmana. La institución ha formado a innumerables eruditos, entre ellos el geógrafo Al-Idrisi, y ha mantenido su plan de estudios de estudios islámicos, gramática y retórica durante más de 1.150 años. La mezquita adjunta es uno de los monumentos islámicos más importantes del norte de África.

Chouara Tannery is a notable point of interest, offering visitors an opportunity to experience the distinctive character and appeal of this destination. Whether for its natural beauty, cultural significance, or unique atmosphere, it provides a rewarding experience as part of a broader exploration of the area.

Fez el-Bali is the UNESCO-listed old medina of Fes, one of the world's largest and most complete intact medieval cities, a 9th-century maze of 9,400 streets, lanes, and alleys where cars are unknown and donkeys are still the primary transport. The medina's 14,000 alleys house 365 mosques, ancient madrasas, hammams, and working traditional crafts workshops in a living city that has functioned continuously since its founding in 789 AD. Getting genuinely lost here is virtually guaranteed and deeply rewarding.
