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.
For centuries, the old city of Fès, or Fès el-Bali as the locals call it, had been a secured city, in which outsiders were only allowed temporarily to do business and leave. When the French arrived in 1912, they left the old city intact and just built a new one next to it. This allows the modern-day visitor an amazing look into what the city looked like centuries ago. It is easy to believe that little has changed, apart from the plastic bags in which goods are wrapped when something has been sold.
