Fez

The most ancient of the Imperial Capitals, and the most complete medieval city of the Arab world, Fes (also known as Fez) is a place that stimulates your senses, with haunting and beautiful sounds, infinite visual details and unfiltered odours. Fez is the cultural and spiritual centre of Morocco, oldest of the three imperial cities, founded in 790 BC by Moulay Idriss II. The main attraction in this ancient city is the medieval Medina, the old part of the city, which has been continuously inhabited since the 10th century and still bustles with a bewildering throng of colourfully costumed tribal people, from olive-dealers and veiled women on their way to the baths, to industrious merchants and traditional bell-ringing water-sellers.
