Mapping The City of Fez
A nearby country, especially since the opening of low cost flights. My journey not go Fez, an ancient imperial cities of Morocco. Located in the Middle Atlas, this beautiful city, the historic capital of the kingdom, is the oldest of the four imperial cities of Morocco. I spent three pleasant days full Ramadan. Rest assured if you go there at this time, Fez is enough for tourist restaurants open in sufficient numbers at this time!
Some History
Fez was founded in 789 by Idriss 1st, descendant of the Prophet Muhammad and founder of the kingdom. The city soon became the capital of Morocco. As you see, this is a very old city. The mosque el Qaraouiyyîn is one of the most important monuments of the city. This is still the oldest center of education in the Western world, before Oxford and the Sorbonne! The Royal Palace, the "Dar el Makhzen" is another landmark lighthouse Fez. The Saadian tombs are worth a visit. Finally, the city being surrounding by walls, some beautiful enclosure doors are worth a visit, especially Bab Bou Jeloud.
The Medina of Fez
But the interest of this city is its impressive medina. Fascinating. A maze of streets, shops, activities that have can browse for hours. You will observe local life, the richness of the markets, sometimes you come face to face with old Medersas (religious schools) of refined architecture. Sometimes you come across a small square and fountain tiled. Enjoy tea on the terrace of a restaurant, watching the coming and going of the crowd. Really, after visitng Fez, you really know what the word "medina" means!
And it hosts frequently celebrations, festivals, international conferences in the cultural, scientific, intellectual and religious fields, also held by the International Conference for the cities of the Third World Heritage in 1993, and ranked global human heritage in 1981.
What distinguishes the city from other cities in Morocco, there are ten thousands old the building, where the hills palaces built since ancient times, and there are old out houses song narrow, and decorated with beautiful mosaics, and the flowing water and fountains, and the eyes of seventy kilometers, and by four thousands fountain, which making it a vital source of water.
The weather
It's really hot there in the summer and cold by the winter, and moderate in the Autumn and spring, where frequently the number of tourist increases in these two seasons
Tips
- Do not go to a store if you do not think to buy something. Traders are often insistent see unpleasant if you do not buy ...
- Take a guide to visit the medina is not luxury. Children will offer it at low cost. Prefer an Official guide.
- The place is touristy and dense. But really, it is worth it! And you, do you know this place?
