Claimed to be the one of the oldest medieval cities still alive in the world, old Fès is an adventure to walk around in, with surprises around each corner.
The excitement of the souqs, the shops, the craftsmen working on their products which are sold next door, the sounds, smells, people trying to sell anything from a bunch of mint leaves to intricately designed jewellery, the beggars, small food stalls, is a thrilling mix of the senses. Apart from taking in the daily life scenes, you can also visit some of the medersas, of which only the el-Attarine was open during my visit. Built in the 14th century, it is still a display of the amazing artwork in zellij tiles, cedar wood delicately sculpted into fine walls like curtains, calligraphic representations of koranic verses in the walls.
