Fez radiates a singular aura. She is the Imperial, the custodian of thirteen centuries of Moroccan history. Fez is rich in a prestigious past and has unexpected surprises in store.
Cross the walls of the famous medina of Fez, distinguished by UNESCO as an outstanding universal value. Take a random stroll through the streets of the Fez-El-Bali district. The Bab Boujloud gate is the easiest access to enter the medina.
In May, the squares and alleys resonate with world music: the World Sacred Music Festival is held in the former imperial capital. It is, with Jazz in Riads, one of the main events in the city’s cultural calendar. Don’t leave without tasting the city’s gastronomy, renowned as one of the best in the world.
Meknès
The medina of Meknes and the remains of the royal palace have earned it a place as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
On El Hedime Square, Bab Mansour is the gate giving access to the medina. It is one of the masterpieces of Hispano-Moorish art. Don’t forget to visit the stables and royal granaries of Sultan Moulay Ismail.
North of Meknes lies the largest Roman archaeological site in Morocco: Volubilis. Triumphal arch, capitol, house of Bacchus, everything testifies to the splendor that the city experienced and its economic and political weight.
An imperial, eternal city, Meknes offers you the experience of a timeless stay, on the borders of the present and history.
