Fez in Morocco is an exotic place that will enchant you with its ancient heritage, colorful noisy markets and beautiful landscape. The imperial city is the capital of traditional Moroccan culture. Fès measures the symbolic heartbeat of the country. It is home to innumerable crafts, spices, and mosques, that it is quite easy to be lost in it. Green - the color of Islam - is also the color of Fès, endlessly repeated on its tiles and doors. Fes is a cradle of knowledge, for which its superb medersas are a flamboyant symbol. Founded shortly after the Arabs exploded across North Africa and Spain, Fès quickly became the country's religious and cultural centre, shaped by each of the great dynasties and by its population's roots in Muslim Spain and the Arab east. Fez is the medieval capital of Morocco, and a great city of high Islamic civilization. Fez has the best-preserved old city in the Arab world, the sprawling, labyrinthine medina of Fes el-Bali, which is incidentally also the world's largest car-free urban zone.
