Medina of Fez

Here you will find mosques, fountains, tanneries and souks. The grand Al Quaraouiyine University, which dates from the 9th century, is covered in hand-painted ceramics in vivid colours, while the imposing R’cif Mosque overlooks a bustling market place. Vendors in the souks sell perfumes, spices, lamps and leather goods. The culinary scene includes both street kebabs and elegant gourmet restaurants.
