This beautiful wooden fretwork separates the reading room from the book stacks, which we did not have access to.  You might notice that the design mirrors the fretwork on the outside of the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca.

Morocco is a land of sharp contrasts, and Fez is the epitome of that. Arab and Berber, Islamic and Westernized, every corner brought something new and unexpected. The entire medina is a UNESCO World Heritage site, considered to be the oldest working medina and souk in the world. 

The souk contains a number of historical landmarks, including 2-3 mosques, at least two caravansaries, a tanners quarters, and the Qarawiyyin Library, the oldest functioning library in the world, dating to 859.

Great value for money. Easy access to tours (near a main street) and very clear directions in the medina. Dinner and breakfast were the best we had in town, both in taste and presentation. Staff were genuinely helpful, special thanks to Yassine and Abde Arhman, and the owner Abdul was clear and efficient. ...

This is IT!
A stunningly beautiful and extremely well serviced riad. The food was delicious: both breakfast and dinner. The staff was friendly, attentive to detail and present for whenever needed. It is truly a gem. Could be an art gallery or a museum. Look no more, you don’t want to miss this place.

Fes El Bali

4.5/5(257 area reviews)

Travelers come to Fes El Bali for its abundant dining options, and you can see top attractions like Dar Batha Museum and Chouara Tannery while you're in town.

Fes El Bali
The Medina of Fes El Bali is the biggest Medina in Morocco and it´s full of life!
Madrasas, fondouks, palaces, residences, mosques and fountains are everywhere! But, be careful, this Medina is also the most labyrinthine, so my advice is to have a local and official guide with you, especially if you have no much time to visit the city  because you´ll probably get lost more than once! ;)

Dar Tazi

If you're spending some time in Dar Tazi, Sidi Moussa Tannery and Talisman Art Gallery are top sights worth seeing.

Dar Tazi
An iconic sight for sure, the tanneries of Fes was absolutely interesting to take in. As well as the smell, which wasn't as bad as I anticipated - and they gave us a bundle of mint to smell if it got too bad. :)

Here you can see all the different colors of leather dyed...and dried...and here you will find the biggest selections and best prices for leather products at the surrounding leather shops that have a veranda to see the men at work below.

Yes, yes I did acquire a bag while I was there - and it has Berber carpet on it too - double score! :)

El Ayoun

While El Ayoun isn't home to many top sights, Bou Inania Madrasa and Blue Gate are some notable places to visit nearby.
