This guided journey through the medieval medina reveals centuries of Islamic heritage, from ornate madrasas and historic mosques to hidden fountains and artisan souks nestled in a labyrinth of atmospheric narrow streets.

Built in 790 by Moulay Idriss, Fez is the most religious, intellectual and artistic capital city of the moroccan metropolis and home of the millenary monarchy. Fez was during a long period the capital city of the Cherifidian Empire. The city has preserved its historic legacy and its rol as a Islamic city.
