Fes Travel Guide

A living medina shaped by centuries

Fes is one of Morocco’s great historic cities. Its medina preserves an extraordinary concentration of traditional streets, religious and civic monuments, artisan workshops and urban life. Moropedia’s existing Fes coverage already highlights the old medina, leather district, tanneries and madrasas, along with Jnan Sbil and the Borj Nord viewpoint.
