🇲🇦The Ancient Imperial City of Fez: In Search of One Thousand Hidden
Fez, nestled in northern Morocco, is revered as the country’s spiritual and cultural capital. Unlike whitewashed Casablanca or ruby-red Marrakech, Fez glows in creamy yellows, earning its nickname as the "Yellow City." In 1981, its Medina was crowned a UNESCO World Heritage Site—a labyrinth of 17km of intact medieval walls pulsing with Arab heritage since 808 AD. 🌟 Must-See Landmarks 📍 Chouara Tannery Fez’s leathercraft is legendary. At No. 10 Chouara, witness centuries-old dyeing techniques in kaleidoscopic vats—a living art passed down through 150+ families. (Mint leaves: your olfactory lifeline! 🌿) 📍 Bab Boujloud (Blue Gate) The Medina’s iconic western entrance, framed by bustling souks and cafes. 📍 Al-Attarine Madrasa A 14th-century marvel of flawless mosaics and stone carvings. 📍 Kairaouine Mosque & University Founded in the 9th century, it’s the world’s oldest continuously operating university. 📍 Bou Inania Medersa A jewel-box of hand-cut zellige tiles, carved plaster, and cedar latticework. #CulturalGems #MoroccoTravel #HiddenFez #Wanderlust #WorldHeritage✨
