Fes

Fes is a historic city in Morocco, renowned for its well-preserved medieval architecture and vibrant culture. Founded in the 9th century, it features the ancient medina (old town), a UNESCO World Heritage site, characterized by narrow winding streets, traditional markets, and centuries-old mosques and madrasas (educational institutions). Fes serves as a center for Moroccan craftsmanship, especially leatherwork, textiles, and pottery. Its rich history reflects a blend of Arab, Andalusian, and Berber influences, making it a vital hub for culture, religion, and education in North Africa.
