Fes

Fes is one of Morocco's great historic cities. UNESCO dates the foundation of the medina to the 9th century and notes its importance under the Marinids in the 13th and 14th centuries. The medina's madrasas, fondouks, palaces, residences, mosques and fountains preserve a dense urban fabric that remains central to the city's cultural identity.

Fez was founded between 789 and 808 and became one of Morocco's great centres of scholarship, trade and craftsmanship. Under the Marinids in the 13th–14th centuries it reached a major political and cultural peak, and its medina remains one of the best-preserved historic urban areas in the Arab-Muslim world.
