Introducing Fès

The medina of Fès el-Bali (Old Fès) is the largest living medieval Islamic city in the world. Nothing quite prepares you for your first visit, which can truly be an assault on the senses. Its narrow winding alleys and covered bazaars are crammed with shops, restaurants, workshops, mosques, madrassas and extensive dye pits and tanneries – a riot of sights, sounds and smells.
