ABOUT FES
Live and study in one of the largest and most enduring medieval Islamic settlements, a city that created the world’s first university. Walk through the labyrinth of winding alleyways in the medina and discover madrasas, palaces, and mosques dating from the 9th century. Explore the Ville Nouvelle and experience the French influenced shops, restaurants, avenues, and architecture of contemporary Fes. Watch the artisans in the ceramic workshops and famous leather dye pits and tanneries. Plunge into the rich sensory experience the city offers and immerse yourself in Moroccan life.
Fes blends the diverse landscape of the old city compared with the new development and French-created Ville Nouvelle. The streets, bazaars, and mosques at the center of Morocco’s cultural heritage provide a fascinating backdrop in which to live.
