Fez
: Full day
Established in 790 by Moulay Idriss, Fez is the religious,
intellectual and artistic Moroccan metropolis. Cradle
of a millennium monarchy, Fez was for a long period
the capital of the Cherifian Empire. It has preserved
its historical background and its role as an Islamic
city intact for years. Fez is a network of winding
alleys that can hardly be unraveled.
Movement, noise, shouting, smell of tanned leather,
delicate aroma of oriental perfumes, barbecues, sweet
pastry.
All this is the imperial city.
