The intellectual capital, the craftwork capital, the most imperial of all cities in Morocco and pearl of the Arab world, Fez is where the senses are given truly royal treatment. With the refinements of its palaces and museums and the luxuriance of its life, the unique Fez extends an invitation to visit again and again. Here you will find the most beautiful sculpted woodwork, engraved bronze, polychrome carving, moucharabies, columns and sculpted plasterwork.

The Andalousian Mosque invites the faithful to prayer. Easily identified by its green and white minaret, the el Sahri medersa (1321) seems to be literally overflowing with luxurious decoration. All the medersas (Koranic schools) house a courtyard in marble or onyx that can be glimpsed through the open doors as a sanctuary of light. In Fez el Bali there are two distinctly different districts. In 818, several hundred Moslem families settled on the right bank of Wadi Fez, after having been expelled from Andalusia by the Christian armies. Seven years later, 300 Kerounan families established their homes on the opposite bank. The Andalousian Arabs brought with them their art and the experience of a civilization at the very peak of its glory. The Andalousian quarter is particularly impressive for its splendor and its profusion of fine buildings. NOT TO BE MISSED The cherry orchards... in June, the local inhabitants celebrate the return of the cherries. They walk in procession to the tomb of the prophet Daniel. The joyful celebration is followed by dancing & singing. Into the Caverns...Not far from Taza, the Friouato caverns reach to a depth of 180 metres. A staircase leads down into a veritable underground palace. Halls and galleries seem haunted by other-worldly forms- the stalactites and stalagmites reaching out into the void in a fairyland of mineral sculpture
