Holidays in Fes:
Fez, the fourth largest city in Morocco, is simply regal. In fact, it is called an ‘Imperial City’ because of its majestic mosques and grand palaces. Fez has been chosen by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organizations (UNESCO) as World Heritage Site. Fez continue to live up to its image as an old city with a heart.

Within the city is the Medina of Fez el Bali, a momentous creation of man that is known to be the largest contiguous car-free urban site in the world. This medina houses the University of Al-Karaouine, recognized to be the oldest continous operating university in the world. There is also the Zaouia Moulay Idriss II, a shrine dedicated to Moulay Idriss who lived thousands of years ago in Fez. The Medersa Bou Inania is favourite destination for non-Muslim tourists as it is the only religious center in Fez that accepts non-Muslim visitors.

The most popular and probably most astounding tourist attraction in Fez is the Sacred Music Festival. This festival is held yearly in Fez and is visited by musicians, music enthusiasts and tourists from around the globe. The music festival presents the sound and music of renowned artists from different countries like Ravi Shankar, Youssou N’Dour and Salif Keita. The music extravagance that one will experience in the festival leads to spiritual healing. This is because the Sacred Music Festival is one of its kind in transforming spiritual weariness to joyfulfaith. There are many Morocco hotels in Fes for every budget.

Fez is endowed with the best of both worlds. It has the beaches to be proud of. It has the mountains that are still part of the imploring High Atlas. There are places that have not been explored and remain pristine. With this backdrop, the memories of Fez and its ancient temples are unforgettable and continuously reside in the mind.
