Fès

L'Université Al-Qarawiyyin à Fès, au Maroc, est reconnue par l'UNESCO et le Livre Guinness des Records comme la plus ancienne université existante et en fonctionnement continu au monde, fondée en 859 après J.-C. par Fatima al-Fihri, une femme musulmane. L'institution a éduqué d'innombrables érudits, dont le géographe Al-Idrisi, et a maintenu son programme d'études islamiques, de grammaire et de rhétorique depuis plus de 1 150 ans. La mosquée attenante est l'un des monuments islamiques les plus importants d'Afrique du Nord.

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.
