Fes Travel Guide

Klasséiert als ee vun de schéinste mëttelalterleche Stied op der Welt, et gi vill Saachen zu Fez ze gesinn. Mir sinn hei ukomm als lescht Destinatioun ier mir eis ofgeschloss hunn Rees duerch Marokko a mir kënnen soen, datt dëst eng vun de Stied ass, déi am Marokko ze gesinn ass. Mat dëser leschter Stad hate mir dräi vun de véier keeserleche Stied vu Marokko gesinn, déi aner zwee waren Marrakesch a Meknes, dee mir fehlen, Rabat, mir hunn et verlooss fir d'Excuse ze hunn an esou en onheemlecht Land zréckzekommen.

Wat zu Fes ze gesinn an ze maachen

Medina vu Fes – Fes Travel Guide

An der Medina – (Stad op Arabesch) - vu Fez ginn et keng Autoen. Tatsächlech ass et de gréissten autofräie urbane Gebitt op der Welt. Déi schmuel Stroossen, déi virun 1.200 Joer gebaut goufen, erlaben hiren Transit net. Vläicht war dat deelweis seng Erléisung aus de Kupplunge vun der Modernitéit. Alles gëtt zu Fouss, mam Moto oder Mulle gemaach, déi als Fracht- an Transportmëttel benotzt ginn.

The essence of the medina of Fez cannot be captured. It transcends forms and senses. The best way to tame the old city is to let yourself be carried away by its intricate labyrinth of alleys, stairways and squares. Always by the narrowest, under the maxim that the shortest way between two points, is not always the best. It is in this context that its greatness begins to reveal itself.

Ronderëm de Bab Bou Jeloud Paart, och Blue Gate genannt, gëtt et e persistent Aroma vu frëscher Minze, déi mat Fennel, Zitrouneverbena an Orange verwiesselt gëtt. Et ass e klenge Maart wou se Geméis an Uebst verkafen. Iwwerall wou ee kuckt gëtt et e schéint Bild dat ganz mëttelalterlech kéint sinn. An dat ass ee vun de Wonner vun dëser Stad, déi schéngt de Passage vun der Zäit verschwonnen ze hunn.

Et gëtt e Gefill vun enthale Dekadenz, wéi wann all Mauer zu all Moment kéint zesummebriechen. D'Holz an d'Strukturen, déi d'Maueren opstoen, sinn Deel vun der Medina Kuliss. Wéi och ëmmer, wéi wann et eng aristokratesch al Dame wier, behält et nach ëmmer Glimmer vun enger wäitem Glanz.

Besicht de Souks – Maart

The souks or small markets appear as you walk. There is a spice souk, where sacks overflowing with cardamom, pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg or cumin are concentrated. Again it is the sense of smell that celebrates the find. There is another souk of cosmetics, natural medicines and henna, the famous product with which Moroccan women decorate their skin and dye their hair.

The metal market is very picturesque, it is in a small square where they sell candlesticks, teapots and decorative objects of copper and brass. The dried fruit souk is very popular with tourists. There you can buy peanuts, almonds, dates and nuts at very cheap prices. At this point you should always remember to bargain, it is part of their culture.

Bab Boujloud

Bab Boujloud or the blue door is the starting point of all visits to Fes, This door has been built in 1913 being the main access to the Medina Fez el-Bali, the oldest and most charming area of the city.

The medina of Fez el-Bali, the largest of the two in the city, is the largest pedestrian area in the world, and was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco in 1981. The city is served by the Saïss airport.

The gate is tiled in blue on the outside in homage to the color of the city, which is blue, and on the inside in green, in honor of Islam. Just by crossing the gates, you will enter a different world.

The Bab Boujloud gate is the easiest access to the medina of Fez.

Tanneries (Tannerie Chouwara)

One of the most recommended places to visit in Fez is the Chouwara Tannery. There are other tanneries in the city, but without a doubt this is the most impressive. We have put it the first thing to visit on this second day so you can go to see it at the best time, we recommend that you go around 9 am. The place itself is a kind of shallow pits where the leather is dyed. This is important, as you can imagine the leather gives off quite a strong smell, you have to be prepared for it. Around these pits there are a lot of terraces from where you can see the daily life of these workers. These terraces belong to stores that sell mostly leather goods.

Karaouine Mosque

The Karaouine Mosque is one of the oldest buildings in the city, was built in 859. The building is wedged between a multitude of alleys that make it virtually impossible to see its size. In this mosque, as in all of Morocco, you are not allowed to enter if you are not Muslim. If you are lucky enough to visit on a Saturday, you will be able to see it from the outside. It is one of the most interesting buildings in Fez, Morocco.

But if there is something that caught our attention, it is that it is the oldest university in the world. It is one of the most important centers of Islamic learning and has an unrepeatable library. It had more than 320,000 works in 1613, but today only 30,000 have been preserved, some of them unique in the world and of incalculable value.

The Jewish Quarter

Nearby is the Mellah, the Jewish quarter. Walking from the Agdal Gardens takes no more than 15 minutes. Most cities in Morocco have their Mellah and the one in Fez, dating from 1438, is the oldest in the country. The Jews chose this location, next to the Royal Palace, to enjoy the protection of the caliph. Its narrow streets also offer a myriad of stores and cafes. The architecture of the houses stands out, with large balconies protected by wooden lattices, which prevent being seen but allow light to enter.

Exempfuerderunge & Wüst Touren – Fes Travel Guide

One of the best excursions you can do from Fes for an authentic Moroccan experience is to go to the desert. Admiring the vastness of the horizon while surrounded only by giant golden sand dunes is one of the best things to do in Morocco, and well worth the effort to get there from Marrakech.

Merzauga ass d'Paart op den Ganz chebbi Dunes, ee vun de stäerkste beandrockend Wüst am Marokko, an onvergiesslech Erfahrungen kann do genéissen. Dat Bescht? Sonnenënnergang a Sonnenopgang vun der Spëtzt vun den Dünen kucken, beandrockt vun der Schéinheet vun der Faarf vum Sand wéi d'Sonn ufänkt seng éischt Strahlen ze ginn oder wann se sech verstoppt; de Stärenhimmel gesinn a schéin Stärebiller entdecken; oder kulturell Geheimnisser mat de Berber austauschen sinn magesch Saachen!
